II. THEORICAL INTRODUCTION
This practice seeks the student increase their capabilities in the electrical
circuit analysis, so you can calculate the voltage network containing
multiple nodes. In a nodal analysis it is used for KCL determine the node
voltages, which with respect to a point defined common, or reference node
in the circuit under test. Often this node. It is one that is connected to as
many branches and it is commonly. It called earth because it says it is ground
cero potential, and sometimes represents the chassis or the ground line in a
practical circuit.

In this analysis, the variables in the circuit voltages are chosen as nodes.
These variables are selected as positive with respect to node reference, so
that, if any of the voltages of the nodes actually is negative with respect to
reference node, the analysis indicate.
Since the existence of a defined voltage between two nodes, the node
reference will be associated with a voltage in each of the other nodes and
the each different node voltage with respect to reference voltage is defined
as node, meaning the connecting node of two or more elements of the circuit.
In a circuit containing N nodes, there will be N-1 node voltages determine,
by applying the Kirchhoff's current law to the N-1 circuit nodes, giving N-1
linearly independent equations. How I know shown in Figure 7.1.

7.2, on the protoboard. Once armed, proceed to set the indicated voltage
value and apply to the circuit, through the banana-cayman probes, the
activated power supply.

with the ammeter, the current at the points already mentioned and report
their practical values in Table 7.1.

1. Define that it is a node in an electric circuit.

Is a point where two or more components have a common connection.

2. Define which the node voltage is.

Is the voltage at a point of union of two or more conductors

3. What is the reference node?

To the node with more connections

4. Describe briefly what the node method consists of.

Determine the voltages at the nodes by means of equilibrium conditions

5. Define that it is electrical power.

Is the work that must perform an electrostatic field to move a positive

charge from that point to the reference point

VI. CONCLUSIONS

With the nodal analysis method we could watch the corresponding values
for nodal voltages, this means, the characteristic voltage values which we
can made the calculus and equations, for later, replace them in the
equations of current and get the values of each item. This method helped
us to realize the calculus in a faster way and, when we made de
measurement, check the variations in the armed circuit.
