ANALOGOUS SYSTEM

ANALOGOUS SYSTEMS

ELECTRICAL ANALOGOUS OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

Similarity between Electrical and Mechanical systems equations make

possible to convert one system to another.

If mechanical system equations (equations of motion) are compared

with mesh equations, the resultant electrical analogous circuit is termed as
SERIES ANALOG CIRCUIT.

If mechanical system equations (equations of motion) are compared

with nodal equations, the resultant electrical analogous circuit is termed as
PARALLEL ANALOG CIRCUIT.
