Problem 5 (Problem 4.5 from Textbook)<br />
Suppose that a linear graph has the following characteristics:<br />
n = number of nodes<br />
b = number of braches (segments)<br />
s = number of sources<br />
l = number of independent loops.<br />
Carefully explaining the underlying reasons, answer the following questions regarding this linear<br />
graph:<br />
(a) From the topology of the linear graph show that l = b – n + 1<br />

(c)<br />
What is the number of continuity equations required (in terms of n)?<br />
What is the number of lumped elements including source elements in the model<br />
(expressed in terms of b and s)?
