Nodal Analysis
So far, we have been applying KVL and KCL as
needed to find voltages and currents in a circuit.
Good for developing intuition, finding things quickly
but what if the circuit is complicated? What if you get
stuck?
Systematic way to find all voltages in a circuit by
repeatedly applying KCL: Node Voltage Method
(Nodal Analysis).

Node:
Step 3
Apply KCL to each of the n 1 non
reference nodes
Step 4
Use Ohms law to express the
branch currents in terms of node
voltages.
Step 5
Solve the resulting simultaneous
equations to obtain the unknown
node voltages.

Example:
The voltage drop from node X to a reference node (ground) is
called the node voltage Vx.
