    Counting Nodes
Click For Summary
Nodes in a circuit are defined as points where voltages change, while branches are locations where currents change. The discussion initially sought clarification on identifying nodes and branches within a circuit diagram. A visual representation was requested to enhance understanding. The distinction between nodes and branches is crucial for analyzing circuit behavior. Understanding these concepts is fundamental for effective circuit design and analysis.

Can you point out where the nodes are? (draw on the picture in paint) Nodes are where the voltages change, and branches are where the currents change.
