Template

Analyze the circuit described in {circuit_description} methodically. (1) Label the circuit: assign node names, mark reference (ground), and define assumed current directions and voltage polarities explicitly — an unstated convention produces sign chaos later. (2) Simplify where valid before writing equations: combine series and parallel resistances, identify sources, and note any dependent sources that block naive simplification. (3) Choose the method suited to the topology: node-voltage when there are few nodes, mesh-current when there are few loops, and state why. (4) Write the governing equations — Kirchhoff's current law at nodes or voltage law around loops — one per independent node or mesh, confirming you have as many independent equations as unknowns. (5) Solve the system, showing the algebra, and compute the requested currents, voltages, or power. (6) Verify against conservation: total power delivered by sources must equal total power dissipated, and currents into any node must sum to zero — if they don't, find the sign or arithmetic error before reporting. Note component tolerances if the answer's precision matters practically.
