 1.- THEORETICAL INTRODUCTION

In electrical circuit analysis, the analysis of nodes or nodal voltage method is a method for
determining the tension (potential difference) from one or more nodes.
When a circuit is analyzed by Kirchhoff's laws, they could be used analysis nodes (nodal voltages) by
the current law Kirchhoff (LCK) or mesh analysis (mesh currents) using the law Kirchhoff stress
(LVK) . In the analysis of nodes write an equation for each node, with condition that the sum of these
currents is zero at any time, so a load \ mathrm {Q} \, can never accumulate in a node. These currents
are written in terms of the voltages on each node of the circuit. Thus, in every relationship should be
given current versus voltage that is our mystery, the conductance. For example, for a resistor, Irama =
Vrama * G, where G is the conductance of the resistor.

Nodal analysis is possible when all nodes have conductance. This method produces a set of equations
that can be solved by hand if small, or can also be solved quickly using linear algebra in a computer.
By the fact that it forms very simple equations, this method is a basis for many circuit simulation
programs (eg SPICE). When the circuit elements have conductance, it can be used more generally
analysis extension nodes: nodes modified analysis.

3.- QUESTIONNAIRE OF PRACTICE

It defines a node in an electrical circuit

In electrical and electronic engineering, a node is a point where two or more components have a
common connection. It corresponds to a union of wires made of conductive material possessing
electrical resistance close to 0.

Define node voltage

Node voltage is the voltage that is in a junction of two or more conductors and voltage drop is what
happens when two points with different voltages join or are at the same potential that is the difference
of potential is zero.

What it is called reference node?

The reference node is a node that share the circuit elements and is almost always where land is placed
and the voltage is 0

Briefly describe the method that consists of nodes

To use the node method, we must first locate all nodes and define what is the reference node, in which
each node define what is the voltage and the currents leaving and entering are, expressed by Ohm's
law as voltage on resistance and thus determine the equations to calculate the voltage, solving the
system of equations end find the voltage at each circuit node

Electric power is defined

Electrical power is the pitch ratio of energy flow per unit of time; that is, the amount of energy
delivered or absorbed by an element at a given time. The unit in the International System of Units is
the watt (watt).
