ABSTRACT
At the end of this chapter you should be able to: • appreciate available methods of analysing networks • solve simultaneous equations in two and three unknowns using determinants
• analyse a.c. networks using Kirchhoff’s laws
30.1 Introduction
Voltage sources in series-parallel networks cause currents to flow in each branch of the circuit and corresponding volt-drops occur across the circuit components. A.c. circuit (or network) analysis involves the determination of the currents in the branches and/or the voltages across components.
