A spreadsheet macro as a teaching and learning aid for solving electrical networks
The main method for solving electrical networks is based on matrix representation of the circuit. For any non trivial circuit this method is rather dfficult to follow since it involves a multi-stage solution procedure. This article describes a computerised environment, based on electronic spreadsheet macros, which was developed to facilitate the teaching and learning of solving electrical networks.
