Topic: Nodal Analysis Problem Statement: Consider the circuit below. Determine the value of i and V using nodal analysis. Solution: The ﬁrst steps in any application of nodal analysis are to note the number of nodes in the circuit, deﬁne a reference node, and ﬁnally deﬁne node voltages with respect to the chosen reference node. Redraw the circuit with all nodes and node voltages labeled (The ground symbol

Note that we have V A = 9V due to the independent source. i + . 100 = i 1 i = V A 50-. 100 i = 80 mA Knowing i we can now calculate V to be V = 100( . 080) = 8 V. 1...
