In a passive reciprocal resistive network, the nodal admittance matrix is typically?

  • ASkew-symmetric
  • BSymmetric
  • CAlways diagonal
  • DSingular after choosing a reference node in every case

Correct Answer: B. Symmetric
Explanation: For a reciprocal resistive network, mutual admittance terms satisfy symmetry, so the reduced nodal admittance matrix is symmetric.
