 Mesh Analysis

Ø A mesh is loop which doesn't contain any inner loop

Ø Mesh analysis is only applicable to planner networks

Procedure of mesh analysis:

Step 1: Identify the total no. of meshes

Step 2: Assign the mesh currents to each mesh either in anti clock wise or clock wise direction

Step 3: Develop KVL equations for each mesh

Step 4: Solve the KVL equations to get mesh currents

Special case of mesh analysis(Super mesh)

A super mesh exists in a circuit when two meshes separated by the common current source branch

Procedure of super mesh analysis:

Step 1: Identify the total no. of meshes

Step 2: Assign the mesh currents to each mesh either in anti clock wise or clock wise direction

Step 3: If super mesh found, then develop KVL equation for super mesh

Step 4: Develop KCL equation at common current source node.

Step 5: Solve KVL and KCL equations to get mesh currents

Understanding of independent and dependent sources

-
  In an electrical circuit, a source is a device that provides electrical energy to the circuit. Sources can be classified as either independent or dependent. An independent source is a source that can produce an electric potential (voltage) or an electric current without being influenced by the circuit. Examples of independent sources include batteries, generators, and power supplies. A dependent source is a source that produces an electric potential or an electric current based on the voltage or current in the circuit. Examples of dependent sources include transistors and thermocouples. The behavior of a circuit with an independent source is determined by the characteristics of the source and the resistive elements in the circuit. The circuit will operate the same way regardless of the current or voltage in the circuit. The behavior of a circuit with a dependent source is more complex, as the source produces a current or voltage that is dependent on the current or voltage in
