Introduction to circuit analysis BRANCH | NODE | LOOP Basic network topology ( KVL AND KCL )
Since the elements of an electric circuit can be interconnected in several ways, we need to understand some basic concepts of network topology. To differentiate between a circuit and a network, we may regard a network as an interconnection of elements or devices, whereas a circuit is a network providing one or more closed path. The convention, when addressing network topology, is to use the word network rather than circuit. We do this even though the words network and circuit mean the same thing when use in this context. In network topology, we study the properties relating to the placement of elements in the network and the geometric configuration of the network. Such elements include branches, nodes, and loops.
