Linear Circuits 1 - 14 - Nodal Analysis, Part 1
Requirements
- High School or College Physics
- We Also Recommend Our Previous Linear Circuits Classes
Description
Day 14 of Linear Circuits. We introduce nodal analysis as a systematic process that can be used to solve any linear circuit. While nodal analysis can seem daunting at first, it turns out, that all we are really doing is applying Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Ohm's Law over-and-over again. Not too scary! : )
The material covers all of the lecture material from an fourteenth lecture in a traditional, sophomore-level linear circuits class.
