Circuit Analysis
Part 1: DC Circuits
What is circuit analysis?
• Circuit analysis is a toolkit for understanding and designing
more complex circuits.
• Circuit analysis is a layer of abstraction. It is based off of
other abstractions, while other abstractions are built off of it.

Nodes, Branches, and Loops
• A node is a junction of
connecting wires. Every
point on a node is at the
same potential (same
voltage).
• A branch just another
name for any circuit
element between two
nodes.
• A loop is a closed path
that begins and ends at
the same node.

Ohm’s Law
• 𝑉 = 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒
• 𝐼 = 𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡
• 𝑅 = 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
• 𝑉 = 𝐼𝑅 or 𝐼 =
𝑉
𝑅
or R =
𝑉
𝐼
• Ohm’s Law makes it possible to
solve for an unknown current,
voltage, or resistance.
• In this case,
𝐼 =

I = ?
75Ω
Series Circuits
• There is only one path for current,
so the current is the same
everywhere in the circuit.
• 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 𝑅1 + 𝑅2+ . . . + 𝑅𝑛
• 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 100Ω + 50Ω = 150Ω
• Applying Ohm’s Law,
𝐼 =

• All resistors share a common voltage, but
the currents through each depend on the
value of each resistor.

Voltage Dividers
• A voltage divider creates a voltage
which is some fraction of its voltage
source.
• It is a series circuit where the output
voltage is (usually) taken across the
second resistor.
𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 50Ω
𝐼 =

Voltage Dividers
• We can write a general equation that
describes the output of any two-resistor
voltage divider.
• 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 𝑅1 + 𝑅2
• 𝐼 =
𝑉𝑠

• 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝐼𝑅2
• ∴ 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 =

where 𝑅2 || 𝑅𝐿 < 𝑅2
• If the load resistance is much greater the
resistance of R2 then the output voltage
only drops a bit.
• i.e. The load current should be much less
than the divider current.

Current Dividers
• A current divider creates a current
which is some fraction of its current

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
• Kirchhoff’s Current Law states that all
currents entering a node equals all
currents exiting a node.
• The sum of all currents in a node = 0.
• 𝐼1 + 𝐼2 + 𝐼3+ . . . + 𝐼𝑛 = 0
• Entering a node = positive (+I)
• Exiting a node = negative (-I)

Nodal Analysis with KCL
• Nodal analysis is a process that uses KCL
to determine node voltages.
• A reference node (ground) is used to
make life easier.
• A current through a resistor is described
by Ohm’s Law
𝐼 =
𝑉𝑥 − 𝑉𝑦
𝑅
• To find node voltages, write a KCL
equation for each node, except the
reference node. (N-1)

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
• Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law states that all
voltage “drops” must equal all voltage
“rises” in a closed loop.
• That is, the sum of all voltages in a
closed loop = 0.

Loop Analysis with KVL
• Loop analysis is a process that uses
KVL to determine loop currents.
• Loop currents are assigned to all
independent loops.
• To solve for all loop currents, write
a KVL equation for all independent
loops and then solve.

• Norton circuit: Current source in parallel with a resistor
• Source transformation allows simple conversion between
these circuits.

Thévenin’s & Norton’s Theorems
• To find 𝑅:
• 1.) Detach the load resistor (if present).
• 2.) Set all sources equal to 0.
Voltage source  Short-circuit
Current source  Open-circuit
• 3.) Find the equivalent resistance “looking in” from
the two output terminals.
Thévenin Equivalent Circuits
• To find 𝑉𝑇ℎ :
• 1.) Detach the load resistor
(if present).
• 2.) Find the open-circuit voltage 𝑉𝑂𝐶
across the circuit’s output
terminals.
𝑉𝑂𝐶 = 𝑉𝑇ℎ
Use any form of analysis
(nodal, loop, voltage divider,
source transformation, etc.)

Superposition Theorem
• Superposition says that a circuit with
multiple sources can be solved by this
process:
1.) Set all sources = 0, except one.
2.) Solve necessary currents and
voltages, using only that source.
3.) Repeat Step 2 for each source.
4.) “Superimpose” the solutions onto
each other.
• Use the symbol prime ( ′ ) to differentiate
variables with the same name.
𝑰𝟏 = 𝑰′𝟏 + 𝑰′′𝟏
𝑰𝟐 = 𝑰′𝟐 + 𝑰′′𝟐

Ending Remarks
• The key to solving circuit problems quickly and correctly is practice!
• Each technique is not terribly difficult on its own. The challenging part is
identifying which technique (or combination of techniques) is appropriate
for a given circuit.
• Experiment with circuits on your own!
 The components used in this video are inexpensive and easily obtained
through distributors such as Mouser and DigiKey.
 Use simulation software such as LTSpice (free) to verify your findings
and to learn more about circuit behavior.

Essential_&_Practical_Circuit_Analysis_Part 1_ DC_Circuits.pptx

  • 1. By Solid State Workshop Essential & Practical Circuit Analysis Part 1: DC Circuits
  • 2. What is circuit analysis? • Circuit analysis is a toolkit for understanding and designing more complex circuits. • Circuit analysis is a layer of abstraction. It is based off of other abstractions, while other abstractions are built off of it. Physics Electronics Circuit Analysis Systems
  • 3.  Linear Circuit Elements  Ohm’s Law  Series & Parallel Circuits  Voltage & Current Dividers  Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)  Nodal Analysis  Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)  Loop Analysis  Source Transformation  Thévenin & Norton Equivalence  Superposition Theorem What will be covered in this video?
  • 4. Linear Circuit Elements Resistor Ohm Ω Inductor Henry H Capacitor Farad F Current Source Ampere A Volt V Voltage Source + -
  • 5. Nodes, Branches, and Loops • A node is a junction of connecting wires. Every point on a node is at the same potential (same voltage). • A branch just another name for any circuit element between two nodes. • A loop is a closed path that begins and ends at the same node. Loop Loop Loop Branch Branch Branch Branch Branch Node Node Node Node
  • 6. Ohm’s Law • 𝑉 = 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 • 𝐼 = 𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 • 𝑅 = 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 • 𝑉 = 𝐼𝑅 or 𝐼 = 𝑉 𝑅 or R = 𝑉 𝐼 • Ohm’s Law makes it possible to solve for an unknown current, voltage, or resistance. • In this case, 𝐼 = 30𝑉 75Ω = 0.4𝐴 30V I = ? 75Ω
  • 7. Series Circuits • There is only one path for current, so the current is the same everywhere in the circuit. • 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 𝑅1 + 𝑅2+ . . . + 𝑅𝑛 • 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 100Ω + 50Ω = 150Ω • Applying Ohm’s Law, 𝐼 = 30𝑉 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 30𝑉 150Ω = 0.2𝐴 50Ω 100Ω 30V I = ?
  • 8. • All resistors share a common voltage, but the currents through each depend on the value of each resistor. • 1 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 1 𝑅1 + 1 𝑅2 + . . . + 1 𝑅𝑛 • 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 1 150Ω + 1 100Ω −1 = 60Ω 𝐼 = 30𝑉 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 30𝑉 60Ω = 0.5𝐴 𝐼 = 30𝑉 150Ω = 0.2𝐴 𝐼 = 30𝑉 100Ω = 0.3𝐴 Parallel Circuits 30V 150Ω 100Ω Ohm’s Law
  • 9. Voltage Dividers • A voltage divider creates a voltage which is some fraction of its voltage source. • It is a series circuit where the output voltage is (usually) taken across the second resistor. 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 50Ω 𝐼 = 10𝑉 50Ω = 0.2𝐴 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝐼𝑅2 = 0.2𝐴 10Ω = 2.0𝑉 10V 40Ω 10Ω Vout
  • 10. Voltage Dividers • We can write a general equation that describes the output of any two-resistor voltage divider. • 𝑅𝑒𝑞 = 𝑅1 + 𝑅2 • 𝐼 = 𝑉𝑠 𝑅𝑒𝑞 • 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝐼𝑅2 • ∴ 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝑉𝑠 𝑅𝑒𝑞 𝑅2 = 𝑉 𝑠 𝑅2 𝑅1+𝑅2 • Most generally, 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝑉 𝑠 𝑅𝑥 𝑅𝑒𝑞 VS R1 R2 Vout
  • 11. Voltage Dividers • Attaching a load reduces the divider’s output voltage. • 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝑉 𝑠 𝑅2 𝑅1+𝑅2 • 𝑉𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝑉 𝑠 𝑅2 || 𝑅𝐿 𝑅1+ 𝑅2 || 𝑅𝐿 where 𝑅2 || 𝑅𝐿 < 𝑅2 • If the load resistance is much greater the resistance of R2 then the output voltage only drops a bit. • i.e. The load current should be much less than the divider current. RL VS R1 R2
  • 12. Current Dividers • A current divider creates a current which is some fraction of its current source. • It is a parallel circuit where the output current is observed in one of the branches. • 𝑅𝑇 = 1 𝑅1 + 1 𝑅2 −1 • 𝐼𝑜𝑢𝑡 = 𝐼𝑠 𝑅𝑇 𝑅𝑋+𝑅𝑇 IS R1 R2 RX RT Iout
  • 13. Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) • Kirchhoff’s Current Law states that all currents entering a node equals all currents exiting a node. • The sum of all currents in a node = 0. • 𝐼1 + 𝐼2 + 𝐼3+ . . . + 𝐼𝑛 = 0 • Entering a node = positive (+I) • Exiting a node = negative (-I) 𝑗=1 𝑛 𝐼𝑗 = 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Entering Exiting Current (mA) Current Entering & Exiting a Node
  • 14. 12mA • Find 𝐼1 and 𝐼2 using KCL. • Ask yourself: Do I need to find one current before I can find the other? • KCL at Node B 𝐼2 + 12𝑚𝐴 − 4𝑚𝐴 = 0 𝐼2 = −8𝑚𝐴 • KCL at Node A −𝐼1 − 𝐼2 + 2𝑚𝐴 = 0 −𝐼1 + 8𝑚𝐴 + 2𝑚𝐴 = 0 𝐼1 = 10𝑚𝐴 Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) 4mA 2mA 𝑰𝟏 𝑰𝟐 Node A Node B +8𝑚𝐴 −8𝑚𝐴
  • 15. Nodal Analysis with KCL • Nodal analysis is a process that uses KCL to determine node voltages. • A reference node (ground) is used to make life easier. • A current through a resistor is described by Ohm’s Law 𝐼 = 𝑉𝑥 − 𝑉𝑦 𝑅 • To find node voltages, write a KCL equation for each node, except the reference node.

  • 18. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) • Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law states that all voltage “drops” must equal all voltage “rises” in a closed loop. • That is, the sum of all voltages in a closed loop = 0. • 𝑉1 + 𝑉2 + 𝑉3+ . . . + 𝑉 𝑛 = 0 𝑗=1 𝑛 𝑉 𝑗 = 0 V1 V2 V3 V4

  • 30. Superposition Theorem • Superposition says that a circuit with multiple sources can be solved by this process: 1.) Set all sources = 0, except one. 2.) Solve necessary currents and voltages, using only that source. 3.) Repeat Step 2 for each source. 4.) “Superimpose” the solutions onto each other. • Use the symbol prime ( ′ ) to differentiate variables with the same name. 𝑰𝟏 = 𝑰′𝟏 + 𝑰′′𝟏 𝑰𝟐 = 𝑰′𝟐 + 𝑰′′𝟐

  • 32. Ending Remarks • The key to solving circuit problems quickly and correctly is practice! • Each technique is not terribly difficult on its own. The challenging part is identifying which technique (or combination of techniques) is appropriate for a given circuit. • Experiment with circuits on your own!  The components used in this video are inexpensive and easily obtained through distributors such as Mouser and DigiKey.  Use simulation software such as LTSpice (free) to verify your findings and to learn more about circuit behavior.
