In [[electrical engineering]] and [[electronics]], a ''[[Electrical network|network]]'' is a collection of interconnected [[Electronic component|components]]. '''Network analysis''' is the process of finding the [[voltage]]s across, and the [[Electric current|current]]s through, all network components.  There are many techniques for calculating these values; however, for the most part, the techniques assume [[Linear circuit|linear]] components. Except where stated, the methods described in this article are applicable only to ''linear'' network analysis.
