The next four or so weeks will involve examination of various theorems and solution techniques. If you haven't already done so, make sure that you read through your calculator's manual and learn how to perform simultaneous equation solutions. We begin our work with current source conversions and lead directly into Mesh Analysis. We spend most of this week on Nodal Analysis. Some people prefer nodal over mesh.
Some people prefer mesh over nodal.
Either one can be used to solve a given circuit, however, you may find that the solution of a given circuit is easier or faster using one technique in favor of the other. Time and practice will bear this out. Finish chapter 8. We begin the examination of several theorems, including Thevenin's Theorem and Superposition Theorem. This is commonly forgotten by the beginning student.
