You can measure voltages by touching two points with the two probes (usually called an element voltage), OR, you can connect the black probe to the reference node and move just the one …

The Node Voltage Method solves circuits with the minimum number of KCL equations. Steps 1 to 4 out of 5. Created by Willy McAllister.

Sometimes a node voltage is the same as an element voltage. For example, since R2 is connected at its bottom end to the reference node, the element voltage of R2 is identical to the …

The Mesh Current Method solves circuits by writing Kirchhoff's Voltage Law for currents flowing in the loops of a circuit.

Engineers have come up with two elegant ways to organize and streamline circuit analysis: the Node Voltage Method and the Mesh Current Method. These are general-purpose step-by-step …

We solve a circuit by writing Kirchhoff's Voltage Law in terms of "mesh currents." This video covers the first three steps out of four.

To solve a circuit, we want to know the voltage and current for each element. This means we need twice as many independent equations as there are elements in the circuit.

Summary: Our voltage divider takes an input voltage (in this case 12 V , but it could be any value) and scales it down to create an output voltage that's 3 / 4 of the input voltage. The 3 / 4 ratio is …
