Loop Method of Circuit Analysis
This engineering online PDH live webinar introduces the Loop Method, a powerful and systematic method of electrical circuit analysis used to find all branch currents and voltages in linear circuits. It explains each step of the method and applies it to solve practical electrical circuit problems.
Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Laws (KVL and KCL) are the most basic laws of circuit theory, and the Loop Method uses them extensively. Because the Loop Method is very general and applies to all linear circuits regardless of their complexity, it is an essential tool for engineers who analyze and design electrical circuits.
This webinar covers a review of Ohm’s Law, KVL and KCL, assigning loop currents to each window of a circuit, writing KVL for each loop, replacing voltages with expressions in the loop currents, and solving the resulting simultaneous equations. It also emphasizes step-by-step problem-solving through numerical examples of resistive and AC networks, including the calculation of branch currents and voltages from the loop currents.
This 1 PDH live webinar is applicable to electrical and electronics engineers, as well as other technical professionals interested in learning more about the analysis of electrical circuits.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with specific knowledge and skills needed to:
- Understanding the fundamental laws of circuit theory, including Ohm’s Law, KVL and KCL
- Learning how to apply the Loop Method to assign loop currents and write the loop equations
- Familiarizing with solving simultaneous loop equations to find branch currents in linear circuits of any complexity
- Learning how to find voltages across circuit elements and branches using the branch currents

Once you have decided on a webinar or multiple webinars, click on “Add to Cart”. At this point, you will need to log in to your account, or register if you don’t have one yet, to complete your purchase. (The Log in/Register links are located at the top right corner of the computer screen.) Following purchase, you will immediately receive two emails: one confirming your registration with a receipt of webinar purchase and the other providing you with instructions on webinar access and completion. Subsequently, you will also receive reminder emails with the same instructions 24 hours as well as 2 hours prior to your scheduled webinar. You can also download these instructions from your account at anytime.
We recommend that you register for any webinar ahead of time, although you can still register online up to the start time of the webinar. If you need any assistance with last minute webinar registrations, please contact us at 877-322-5800.
From the webinar access and completion instructions that you receive, you will be provided with a link to access the webinar platform from your computer to view the pesentation as well as listen to and interact with the instructor. Therefore, to get connected, you will need a computer with high-speed internet as well as microphone and speaker capabilities. We recommend using a headset connected to your computer for enhanced audio quality.
Alternatively, if your computer is not equipped with a microphone and speakers, you need to dial in using a phone line. From the webinar access and completion instructions, you will be also provided with a dial-in number to join the webinar and listen in. Furthermore, you will be provided with a link to download the webinar handout, or you can download it directly from you account, in the event you are unable to view the webinar on your computer screen.
Regardless of the connection method used, you will have the opportunity to interact with the instructor at the appropriate times either way. We recommend that you connect to the webinar approximately 10 to 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
Following attending the webinar, you need to return to the CEDengineering.com website and log in to your account to complete and submit the feedback form. Once submitted, we will email you your Certificate of Completion. You can also download it instantly, or at anytime, from your account where all your PDH records are kept for your convenience at all times.
CEDengineering.com live interactive webinars are accepted for PDH or CEU credit by all State Licensing Boards (including IA, NE, OH and WI) mandating continuing professional competency, as they are prepared in compliance with the requirements of all State Licensing Boards. For additional details, please refer to your State Requirements.
Our PDH or CEU accredited webinars are developed and conducted by subject matter experts experienced in their field of practice. Our webinars are designed as live interactive web-conferences allowing you the opportunity to fully interact with the instructor at any time during the webinar from the convenience of your home, office or anywhere using your computer or mobile device.
If you register but you cannot attend due to unforeseen circumstances, we will issue a full refund if you notify us of your cancellation 24 hours in advance. If you must cancel in less than 24 hours, you may reschedule to the same webinar or exchange it with another webinar of equal value that you select and attend at a date of your convenience. Whether you select to reschedule or exchange a webinar, you may do so only once. Webinar exchanges will only be valid for one year from the date of purchase.
