Linear Circuits and Systems: Sample Page

In this module, we write KCL and KVL equations to solve for the node voltages and loop currents, respectively. In our analysis, we end up having a linear set of equations for our node voltage and loop current. This tutorial revises the different methods of solving linear equations simultaneously. The three videos posted below go over four different methods of solution, with two of them focusing on formatting the problem in matrix form and getting the inverse of a matrix.



Learning Objectives

After completing this module, you should be able to:

1. Solving a set of linear equations simultaneously, using four different approaches.

2. Form the set of linear equations into a matrix form.

3. Solve the system of equations by taking the inverse of the coefficient matrix.
