Brute Force 1

The following example shows the "brute force" method of setting up and solving for all the element currents and voltages for a simple resistive circuit and then using those solutions to solve for auxiliary information (in this case, some powers). The circuit involved is:

Equations

Element Equations

Mainly, these are Ohm's Law equations for the resistors, so:

\( \begin{align} R_1:& & v_1&=i_1R_1\\ R_2:& & v_2&=i_2R_2 \end{align} \)

KCL Equations

The number of independent KCL equations s one less than the number of nodes, so in this case, 2. Note: all three nodal KCL equations are written below, but node \(n_c\)'s is not used in the Maple worksheet.

\( \begin{align} KCL,n_a:& & -i_a+i_1+i_2&=0\\ KCL,n_b:& & -i_2+i_b&=0\\ KCL,n_c:& & i_a-i_1-i_b&=0 \end{align} \)

KVL Equations

The number of independent KVL equations is equal to the number of meshes for a 2-D circuit, or to the number of elements, minus the number of nodes, plus one for circuits in general. In this case, that is 2 independent KVL (two meshes, or 3 elements - 3 nodes + 1 = 2). For the brute force method, just use the mesh equations:

\( \begin{align} KVL,l_1:& & -v_a+v_1&=0\\ KVL,l_2:& & -v_1+v_2+v_b&=0 \end{align} \)

Auxiliary Equations

For this example, the auxiliary equations will be used to determine the power delivered by each source and the power absorbed by each resistor:

\( \begin{align} p_{del,i_a}&=v_ai_a & p_{del,v_b}&=-v_bi_b \\ p_{abs,R_1}&=v_1i_1 & p_{abs,R_2}&=v_2i_2 \end{align} \)

Note that all elements except for \(i_a\) are labeled passively.

Code

Mathematica

The code below is a static version of a Wolfram Cloud document. You can look at it but not edit it. If you want to edit and run it, you have a couple options.

  • If you have Mathematica on your own computer, you can download this notebook for yourself using the Download option in the menu at the bottom left of the box below.
  • If you have Wolfram Cloud, you can make your own copy using the Make Your Own Copy option in the menu at the bottom left of the box below. The copy will be in your Copied Files folder in your Wolfram Cloud.

Maple

The Maple worksheet for this example is available for download: Circuit1Demo.mw. You can also look at a PDF of the code. The code assumes that:

\( \begin{align} R_1&=1000~\Omega & R_2&=2200~\Omega\\ i_a&=0.005~\mbox{A} & v_b&=12~\mbox{V} \end{align} \)

There are also versions of the file that show how you can use Maple's built-in ability to use units, which are accessed via the Units menu on the left side of the screen. The code for this example is available for download: Circuit1DemoUnits.mw. You can also look at a PDF of the code. Note that using units works seamlessly for some applications but becomes very cumbersome in others (especially once differential equations or transforms are involved).

The file is also available on the Maple Cloud. You can view the worksheet even if you do not have Maple; if you have Maple, you can download the worksheet and edit it. Maple Cloud Link
