Nodal & Mesh Analysis in AC

Inside this lesson

Explain why nodal and mesh analysis carry over unchanged from DC to AC when working in the phasor domain
Convert an AC circuit to its phasor-domain equivalent: sources to phasors, elements to impedances
Apply mesh or nodal analysis to a phasor-domain circuit to solve for unknown phasor currents or voltages
Compute the total impedance of a series AC circuit and use it to find the current phasor via I = V/Z
