two or more nodes -----> then use Nodal Analysis
Use of Mesh equations for each loop. If there are 4 loops from left to right.
Then Apply Mesh Analysis (similar to KVL) for the loops as follows:
Mesh for loop1
Mesh for loop2
Mesh for loop3
Mesh for loop4
Nodal Equation for node1
Nodal Equation for node2
- Series elements become parallel elements between nodes and vice-versa
- horizontal elements become vertical elements between nodes and vice-versa

Assume clockwise current I.
Apply KVL:
-13+200I+4700 I+ 3+470 I+330 I+ 10000 I=0
15700 I = 10
I= 0.000636942 A = 636.942µA
step-2: connect each node inside loop and ref_node via elements in that loop only. replace the elements with their dual element.
step-3: continue the step2 for nodes inside remaining loops also.
Step-4: draw the final dual figure
Mesh analysis:
before solving mesh/nodal here all the inductors/capacitors must be replaced with their reactance values respectively.

Assignment Questions Unit-3
Assignment Key Unit-3
1. Compare Steady state analysis and Transient analysis.
3. Determine the time constant of a series R-L network with DC excitation.
use similar approach followed in Q2.
4. use figure-3.1; Determine the inductor voltage for t >0.
t<0 --> After a long time with switch at this position, Inductor acts as S.C; 10V appears across 4Ω resistor. So current I4Ω = 10/4 =2.5A = iL
at t=0 switch is moved ---> voltage source disconnected at top terminal; So it experienced O.C.
As inductor does not allow sudden changes in current, iL(0+) =2.5A
Applying KVL, 10iL+v= 0 ---(1);
Also v=5diL/dt ---(2);
substitute (2) in (1) --> 10iL + 5diL/dt = 0 ---(3)
applying Laplace Transform for Eq(3):
10 I(s) + 5 [sI(s)-i(0)] =0
10 I(s) + 5[sI(s)-2.5]=0
2 I(s) + [sI(s)-2.5] =0
I(s) [2+s] = 2.5
I(s) = 2.5/ (s+2)
Applying Inverse Laplace Transform to I(s):
L-1{2.5/(s+2)} --->
i(t) = 2.5 e-2t ----(4)
substitute (4) in (2) ---->
5. For figure-3.2, Also the switch is open for a long time and closed at t=0. Determine di1(t)/dt, di2(t)/dt at t=0+.
figure-3.2
until t<0 ---> i2H(0-) = 0A
i5H(0-) = 0A because there is no source in the second loop.
as inductor does not allow sudden changes in current, i1(0+)=0A, i2(0+)=0A
6. use figure-3.3; Determine v(t) at t=0 and t=160µs
figure-3.3
Before the switch moves (t<0), the 80Ω resistor is not connected completely (i.e., i=0. Also Assuming that switch position there from long time i.e., capacitor fully charges and there is no path for discharge.
So, v(0-)= 50 V
switch position is changed at t=0; As capacitor cannot discharge instantly (capacitor does not allow sudden changes in voltage), v(0+) =50V
now the new circuit is RC network.
time constant is τ=RC = 80 x 2µ = 160µs
voltage across capacitor is, v(t) = v(0) e-t/τ
---> v(t) = 50 e-t/(160µ) Volts ----(1)
(a) v(0) ---> t=0 in equation(1) ---> 50 e0 = 50 volts
(b) v(160µs) = 50 e-(160µ)/(160µ) = 50 x e-1 = 18.3939V
i1(0+) =1A
i2(0+)=0A
di1/dt at t=0+ = -4990 A/s
di2/dt at t=0+ = 10A/s
d2i1/dt2 at t=0+ =24899900 A/s2
d2i2/dt2 at t=0+ = -50100 A/s2

7, 8, 9, 10.
Y11 = 3/2 mhos
Y21 = -1 mhos

Y12 = -1 mhos
11, 12, 13, 14:
KCL at V1:
-I1 + V1 (2) + (V1-V2) 1 =0
--> I1 = 3V1 -V2
Y11 = 3℧, Y12= -1℧
similarly
-I2 + V2 (3) + (V2-V1)1 =0
-->
Y21 = -1℧, Y22= 4℧
