'''Nodal analysis''' is a systematic method for determining the voltages at each node of an electrical circuit relative to a reference node (ground). It applies [[Kirchhoff's laws|Kirchhoff's current law]] at each node to generate a set of linear equations, which can be solved by matrix inversion or [[Gaussian elimination]]. The method is particularly efficient for circuits with many parallel branches, where mesh analysis would produce more equations than necessary. Nodal analysis is the computational backbone of modern [[circuit simulator]]s such as SPICE, which use modified nodal analysis to handle voltage sources and dependent sources. The voltage at each node is not merely a numerical quantity; it is a coordinate in the circuit's state space, and nodal analysis is the map from component values to that coordinate system.
