4.2 NODAL ANALYSIS OF CIRCUITS CONTAINING RESISTORS WITH INDEPENDENT CURRENT SOURCES

The example circuit that we employ to discuss nodal analysis is shown in Fig. 4.2-1. It has nine elements and four nodes. It is driven by three independent current sources I1,I2 and I3. All the element voltages and current variables adhering to passive sign convention have been identified, though, not labelled. The labelling scheme is the same as the one we employed in the previous section.
