Introduction to MatLab Circuit Analysis
Introduction MatLab can be a useful tool in many applications. We will learn how to analyze a simple electrical circuit, set the problem up as N equations in N unknowns, and transform the equations into a matrix formulation that MatLab can solve. Introduction to MatLab: Circuit Analysis 3 Topics Topics Electrical Devices. Electrical Devices. Kirchhoff’s Laws. Kirchhoff’s Laws. Analyzing a Resistor Network. Analyzing a Resistor Network. Inverting Matrices. Inverting Matrices. A MatLab Solution. A MatLab Solution… Voltage and Current Voltage -the force that pushes electrical Voltage -the force that pushes electrical current around a circuit. (Sometimes current around a circuit. (Sometimes called “potential” as in potential energy.) called “potential” as in potential energy.) Current -the flow of electrical charge Current -the flow of electrical charge through a conductor.
