ABSTRACT
The main goal of circuit analysis is to determine the solution of the circuit, i.e., the voltages and the currents in the circuit, usually as functions of time. The advent of powerful computers and circuit analysis software has greatly simplified this task. Basically, the circuit to be analyzed is fed to the computer through some circuit description language, or it is analyzed graphically, and the software will produce the desired voltage or current waveforms. Progress has rendered the traditional paper-and-pencil methods obsolete, in which the engineer’s skill and intution led the way through series of clever approximations, until the circuits equations can be solved analytically.
