Would someone kindy give me some tips for Circuit analysis?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on circuit analysis techniques, specifically the mesh method, Kirchhoff's laws, and nodal analysis. The mesh method is limited to loops without internal loops, while nodal analysis is applicable to nearly all circuits. The user seeks guidance on which method to choose for quicker solutions, acknowledging that the choice depends on the circuit specifics. It is noted that while basic methods like Ohm's law are easier, circuit analysis can become significantly more complex with parasitics involved. Understanding these foundational concepts is crucial for effective circuit analysis.

I know that mesh method can only be used in loops without inside loops. Kirchhoff's laws for few unknowns. And nodal analysis can be used for analyzing almost all circuits, right? But what to use for an easier solution? I know that it is dependent to what is given but I just want to have an intuition to what shall I use for a quicker solution. So, would someone kindly give me some tips? Thanks!

Those are about the easiest already. The only thing that is easier is ohm's law!

Seriously, I do mean that. It gets so so much harder than that when the parasitics start to kick in.
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
