Nodal Analysis is based on:

1. KCL 

2. Ohm's law

KCL:

According to Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL), the algebraic sum of the electric currents meeting at a common point is zero. I.e. the sum of currents entering a node is equal to the sum of currents leaving the node. It is based on the conservation of charge.

F1&F2 U.B Shashi 19 07 2019 D 11

By applying KCL,

i1 + i5 = i2 + i3 + i4

Ohm's law:

At constant temperature, the current flowing through a resistance is directly proportional to the potential difference across its end.

V = R I

Where V is the potential difference, R is resistance and I is current flowing.
