Correct Answer c and d

  • The incidence matrix (A) is a mathematical model to represent the given network with all information.
  • The rows of the incidence matrix represents the number of nodes and the column of the matrix represents the number of branches in the given graph.
  • If there are ‘n’ number of rows in a given incidence matrix, that means in a graph there are ‘n’ number of nodes.
  • Similarly, if there are ‘b’ number of columns in that given incidence matrix, that means in that graph there are ‘b’ number of branches.

The standard convections for incidence matrix are:

aij = 1, if branch j is associated with node i and is oriented away from the node i

ajj = -1, if branch j is associated with the node i and is oriented towards node i

ajj = 0 if branch j is not associated with node i
