Ch 8 Glossary
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Branch-current method | A technique for determining the branch currents of a multiloop network. |
| Bridge network | A network configuration typically having a diamond appearance in which no two elements are in series or parallel. |
| Current sources | Sources that supply a fixed current to a network and have a terminal voltage dependent on the network to which they are applied. |
| Delta (∆), pi (π) configuration | A network structure that consists of three branches and has the appearance of the Greek letter delta (∆) or pi (π). |
| Determinants method | A mathematical technique for finding the unknown variables of two or more simultaneous linear equations. |
| Mesh analysis | A technique for determining the mesh (loop) currents of a network that results in a reduced set of equations compared to the branch-current method. |
| Mesh (loop) current | A labeled current assigned to each distinct closed loop of a network that can, individually or in combination with other mesh currents, define all of the branch currents of a network. |
| Nodal analysis | A technique for determining the nodal voltages of a network. |
| Node | A junction of two or more branches in a network. |
| Supermesh current | A current defined in a network with ideal current sources that permits the use of mesh analysis. |
| Supernode | A node defined in a network with ideal voltage sources that permits the use of nodal analysis. |
| Wye (Y), tee (T) configuration | A network structure that consists of three branches and has the appearance of the capital letter Y or T. |
