Node

A node is a junction with several paths, nodes are subject to Kirchhoff's Laws

Types of Nodes

Nodes

Nodes are area of wire that connect two or more components, uses KCL

Super Nodes

Super Nodes are multiple nodes linked together (often linked with an ideal voltage source), uses KCL

Loops

Loops can be thought of as an independent system of voltages, all voltage additions must be accompanied by voltage drops, uses KVL
