Explanation:
In a network with n nodes, the number of branch currents and node voltages can be determined using Kirchhoff's laws.
Using Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL), we can write:
Total current entering a node = Total current leaving the node
Therefore, we have n-1 independent equations (one equation for each node except a reference node) for the branch currents.
Using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), we can write:
Sum of voltage drops around a closed loop = 0
Therefore, we have b independent equations (one equation for each branch) for the node voltages.
From the above two equations, we can write:
n-1 = b - k
where k is the number of independent loops in the network.
In a simple network with no loops, k = 0 and we have:
n-1 = b
Therefore, the number of independent node pair voltages is given by:
n(n-1)/2 - b
Substituting n = 10 and b = 17, we get:
10(10-1)/2 - 17 = 9
Therefore, the correct answer is option D (9).
