4.3 NODAL ANALYSIS OF CIRCUITS CONTAINING INDEPENDENT VOLTAGE SOURCES

We extend the nodal analysis technique that we developed in the previous section to circuits containing independent voltage sources, in addition to independent current sources, in this section.

An independent voltage source can appear in three positions in a circuit. It may appear from a node to the reference node. Secondly, it may appear between two nodes at which more than two elements are incident. Thirdly, it may appear in series with some resistor. We deal with the first two cases in this section and take up the third case in the next section.
