Step 7: Repeating steps 4-6 for every floating node will give you one equation per floating node (i.e. if you have m floating nodes you will have m equations). You can then solve the system of equations to find the node voltages during phase 2 (unknowns). It should have a unique solution! Let''s repeat Steps 4-6 for node u 3: Step 4: u
Assume the initial voltage over the capacitor (C = 100uF) is 6V and at t=0 it begins to discharge. Since we already determined your i is negative, the term in your node equation should be -C(dv/dt). And since we know that this current equals the sum of the two other currents, you can rewrite your equation as -C(dv/dt) = (v/6k) + (v/12k
Hence, number of equations based on KCL will be total number of nodes minus one.That is, in the present context, we will have only two KCL equations referred to as node equations.

Therefore, instead of writing three equations using three unknowns, we shall instead refer to node (c) in reference to node (a). In other words, wherever we need (v_c) we instead shall write (v_a − 20 angle 0^ {circ}) V. Thus, this three node circuit will only need two equations. We begin at node (a) and apply KCL as usual.
To obtain all the node voltages, 'n-1' should be solved. The number of non-reference nodes and the number of nodal equations obtained are equal. The following steps are to be followed while solving any electrical circuit using nodal analysis:
