Network analysis is a process through which we calculate various electrical parameters of a circuit element connected in an electrical network. It uses mathematical tools to analyze a circuit. Engineers and technicians quite often encounter circuits that contain multiple sources of power or configurations that resist simplification by the series-parallel analysis techniques.  In the next few sections, let us learn to examine circuits to find various electrical parameters. 

Synthesis of electrical networks is an area of electrical engineering in which one attempts to find the network from given specifications. In most cases, this is applied to filters constructed with various elements.
