Introduction
• Basically, electrical networks or circuits consist of the diodes capacitors that are
functioned together to get the desired outputs. These electrical circuits contained a
specified value of the components.

• These answer mathematically are calculated by nodal- Mesh methods or by applying

Kirchhoff's Current and Voltage laws .

• They form equation that can easily be solved by linear algebra method consisting of
more than 3 or 4 variables.

Electric circuits and calculations

Linear Algebra is the most apparent tool of Electrical Engineers.

By Using Gaussian Elimination or Gaussian Jordan Elimination , we don't need to use

various pages to solve complex system of equations.

Using Nodal or Loop Analysis, we end up with systems of equations with unknown
variables.

• By simplifying and manipulating these equations

1=(1/76)(25i2+50i3+10) ->
25((1/76)(25i2+50i3+10))+ 56 i2 - i3 = 0
(-625/76) i2 - (1250/76) i3 - (250/76) + 56i2 - i3 = 0

• (3631/76) i2 - (663/38) i3 = (250/76) -> i2 =

(1326/3631) i3 + (250/76) -50(1/76)(25 [(1326/3631)
i3 + (250/76)] + 50i3+10) - (1326/3631)i3 + (250/76)
+ 106i3 = 0

• i3 = 0.117, i2 = 0.111 , i1 =0.245

• This method too, has its pitfalls, as circuits with many loops or nodes will require many substitutions, not to
mention the large task of keeping track of all the variables.
Same circuit by gauss Jordan method

In this method we need to keep all eqs. into matrix form, for e.g.

Since the columns are of same variable it's easy to do row operation to solve for the
unknowns.
