Using circuit magic to calculate circuit resistances

Circuit simplifications using star-to-
delta, parallel and series
transformations, seems pretty
powerful. It allows one to obtain
resistances a circuit that has a planar,
mesh structure (the "window pane"
structure). The term planar is used to
describe circuits that can be drawn in
a plane without the need for wires to
cross one another. Circuit Magic can
help you to obtain both planar and
non-planar circuits resistances.
Sample circuit. Resistors resistances
are different values (not simple, Try to
simplify it using star-to-delta, parallel
and series transformationsü).

Voltage method

Using Circuit Magic to calculate Norton Thévenin's & Norton's equivalents

Sample circuit shown below

Step 1 Remove branch connecting
node 1 and node 2.



Step 2: Solve circuit using Node
Voltage method.
Result shown below.
V1=-10
V2=0
V3=-5
V4=-5
V5=0



Step 3.: Resistance calculation. Remove
All DC Voltage sources and branches
with current sources. And connect
node 1 and node 2 using the branch
with current source (current =1 A). (as
shown below)



Step 4: Solve circuit using node voltage
method.
V1=-7,2727
V2=4,5455
V3=-3,6364
V4=-0,90909
V5=0


Step 5. Calculate resistance using
Ohms law.
