| Steps to
determine the node voltages: |
|||||||||||||
| 1. | Select a node as the reference node. |
||||||||||||
| 2. | Assign voltages v1,v2,…,vn-1 to the |
||||||||||||
| remaining n-1 nodes. The voltages are |
|||||||||||||
| referenced with respect to the |
|||||||||||||
| reference node. |
|||||||||||||
| 3. | Apply KCL to each of the n-1 non-reference |
||||||||||||
| nodes. Use Ohm’s law to express the branch |
|||||||||||||
| currents in terms of node voltages. |
|||||||||||||
| 4. | Solve the resulting simultaneous equations |
||||||||||||
| to obtain the unknown node voltages. |
