Abstract

This paper presents an effective pedagogical method for nodal analysis in linear circuit. In the proposed method, basic equations are built only for passive elements and independent current sources. And then, the basic equations are modified by considering other sources such as voltage sources and dependent current sources. In the proposed method, the equations are presented in form of a matrix and a vector of which elements are built systematically by considering every element in a circuit one by one. This make the proposed method easy to apply to intricately composed circuit and easy to solve the final simultaneous equations and easy to realize as computer program for nodal analysis and easy to memorize compared to the conventional method.
