ABSTRACT
At the end of this chapter you should be able to:
• solve d.c. and a.c. networks using mesh-current analysis • solve d.c. and a.c. networks using nodal analysis
Mesh-current analysis is merely an extension of the use of Kirchhoff’s laws, explained in Chapter 30. Figure 31.1 shows a network whose circulating currents I1, I2 and I3 have been assigned to closed loops in the circuit rather than to branches. Currents I1, I2 and I3 are called mesh-currents or loop-currents.
