Difference between the two ways to state KVL
I am reading LINEAR CIRCUIT ANALYSIS by DeCarlo and Lin.
The books states KVL in two ways. I wanted to ask if the second way offers extra functionality or simplifies some abstractions. Or it is just ...

Adjacent super nodes, one connected to a reference node
In this circuit, node G was set as the reference node. I'm still new to nodal analysis, and I'm not entirely familiar with it. From what we were taught, we should only use KCL at the super node that ...

power supplied by 1V source
Need to find power supplied by 1V source.
This circuit is under supernode section.
Till now i have only solved supernode circuits in which only a voltage source is present between two nodes. So it was ...

What will be the voltage at node X at steady state in this RC circuit?
My thinking is that at t = 0 s, at the sudden change in Vs, the capacitor will act as voltage source of 2 V and thus applying KCL at node X, we can get a Vx = 4 V.
My confusion is what will happen at ...

How should I go about doing a mesh analysis of a circuit with BJTs?
In the attached photo, is a circuit I wish to analyze.
First I want to do a DC analysis to get an idea of the behavior of the circuit in normal operation. My first approach was to do a node analysis, ...
