Trees and Cotrees of an Electric Network
Atree of electric networkis set of branches which is a set of branches which contains all the nodes of the network but does not form any closed path. It is similar to what anetwork topologyis to a communications network.Let us explain the tree of electric network as defined above.The above figure-1, shows an electric network with five nodes 1,2,3,4 and 5.Now, if we remove the branches 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-1 from the circuit, we will get, the graph as shown below in figure-2.The above graph as sho
