Now, if we remove the branches 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-1 from the circuit, we will
get, the graph as shown below in figure-2.
The above graph as shown in the figure-2, contains all the five nodes of the
network, but does not from any closed path. This is an example of tree of
electric network. In this way numbers of such tree can be formed in a single
electric circuit, which contains same five nodes without containing any closed
loop.
The branches of a tree are also known as twigs. In figure-2, figure-3 and figure-
4 we can see that, there are four twigs or branches of tree in each tree of that
electric network. The number of nodes in the network is 5. So, in this case,
This is a general equation for all
trees of any electric network. The general equation is normally written as,
Where, l is the number of branches in a tree and n is the number of
nodes in the network from which the trees are formed.
