Mesh analysis provides another general procedure for analyzing circuits,\u00a0using mesh currents as the circuit variables. Using mesh currents instead of element
\ncurrents as circuit variables is convenient and reduces the number of equations thatmust be solved simultaneously. Recall that a loop is a closed path with no node
\npassed more than once. A mesh is a loop that does not contain any other loop\u00a0within it. Nodal analysis applies KCL to find unknown voltages in a given circuit,
\nwhile mesh analysis applies KVL to find unknown currents.
\nThe procedure for writing the equations is as follows:
\n1. Assume the smallest number of mesh currents so that at least one mesh current\u00a0links every element. As a matter of convenience, all mesh currents arc assumed to
\nhave a clockwise direction.\u00a0The number of mesh currents is equal to the number of meshes in the circuit.<\/p>\n
2. For each mesh write down the Kirchhoffs voltage law equation. Where more\u00a0than one mesh current flows through an element, the algebraic sum of currents
\nshould be used. The algebraic sum of mesh currents may be sum or the difference\u00a0of the currents flowing through the element depending on the direction of mesh
\ncurrents.<\/p>\n
3. Solve the above equations and from the mesh currents find the branch currents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
