Electrical Circuit




Node

The connection of two or more circuit parameters or circuit elements are called a node.

From the figure, e a, bc, d are electric node.


Junction

If three or more circuit parameters are connected in a circuit, it is called junction. 


Brunch

A special part of a network that lies between two nodes is called a branch.

e.g. Voltage source VS1 of the branch.


Mesh

Mesh is any closed path of an electrical network in which no other path exists.

In the figure abga, bcgb, cdgc, dfgd are each a mesh.


Loop

The path connecting two or ore messes of an electric network is called a loop

E.g abcga, bcdgb, cdfgc, dfgd.
