Theory:
Kirchhoff’s Current LAW-Nodal analysis
At any node(junction) in an electric circuit the total
current flowing towards that junction is equal to the
total flowing away from the junction.

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law-Mesh analysis

In any closed loop in a network,the algebraic sum of
voltage drop(i.e.products of current and resistance)
taken around the loop is equal to the resultant
e.m.f(voltage rise) acting in that loop.

Node Voltages: VN1, VN2, VN3
Branch Voltages: V1, V2, V3 ,V4 , V5

Branch Voltages in terms of node voltages:

V1 = VN1 - VN2
V2 = VN2 - VN3
V3 = VN2
V4 = VN3
V5 = VN1 - VN3
Branch currents:

Ix = VX / RX x= 1,2,3,4,5

AT Node-1: Since voltage at node -1 is known, the nodal

equation at that node is not required.

AT Node-2 I1 =I2 + I3
(VN1 - VN2)/R1 = ( VN2 - VN3)/R2 = (VN2)/R3

VN2[1/5 + 1/20 + 1/25] – (VN3/20) =20

At Node-3: I4 =I2 + I5

(VN3/R4 ) = (VN2 – VN3)/R2 + (VN1 – VN3)/R5

VN3[1/50 +1/20 +1/10 ] - VN2 [1/20] =10

Node Voltages :

Branch Voltages:
V1 = VN1 - VN2 = 16.67V
V2 = VN2 - VN3 =0V
 V3 = VN2 = 83.334V
V4 = VN3 = 83.334V
V5 = VN1 - VN3 =16.667V
Branch Currents:
I1 = V1/R1 = 3.332A
I2 = V2/R2 = 0A
I3 = V3/R3 = 3.332A
I4 = V4/R4 = 1.667A
I5 = V5/R5 = 1.667A
