The graph associated with an electrical network has 7 branches and 5 nodes. The number of independent KCL equations and the number of independent KVL equations, respectively, are
(a) 2 and 5 (b) 5 and 2
(c) 3 and 4 (d) 4 and 3
Given that there are 7 branches and 5 nodes in the network. Therefore,
Number of KCL equations = n □1
Number of KVL equations = b □ ( n □1)= 7 □ (5 □1) = 3
