    QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS:

    1. What is a mesh current?


    Lat, Dheya Kristalyn

    Answer: A mesh current is a current that flows around a mesh or a planar


    circuit. If follows the principles of Mesh analysis and usually, the flow of mesh
    currents is assumed to be in the same direction.

    2. What does a negative mesh current imply?


    Lat, Dheya Kristalyn

    Answer: A negative mesh current implies that the assumed direction of


    current is wrong and that the original flow is opposite of the assumed
    direction.

    3. What technique is employed if (a) a current source appears on the periphery


    of only one mesh in a given mesh circuit? (b) a current source is common to
    two meshes of a given mesh circuit?
    Lat, Dheya Kristalyn

    Answer: (a) The technique of elimination is applied. Wherein, you write the
    voltage equation for the given circuit and apply elimination to solve the
    current.
    (b) Since the current is common to two meshes, it will be called a super
    mesh. And to solve this, the total current is the sum of the individual
    currents in this circuit.

    4. How many node equations are obtained from an N number of nodes present
    on a given circuit?
    Cementina, John Rhoel

    Answer: The number of node equations is equal to the total number of nodes
    present on a given circuit minus 1. Mathematically it can be expressed as,
    Node Equations=N−1

    5. What technique is employed if (a) a voltage source appears connected to a


    given node and a reference node (ground) in a given nodal circuit? (b) a
    voltage source lies between two given nodes of a given nodal circuit?
    Lat, Dheya Kristalyn
    Answer: (a) If a voltage source appears connected to a given node and a
    reference node (ground) in a given nodal circuit, the voltage source is equal
    to the voltage at the given node.
    (b) Since the voltage is shared by two nodes, this will be called a super node.
    In solving super nodes, the sum of the voltages at each node will be treated
    as one and will be equal to the voltage source.

    6. What basic laws are the underlying principles of Mesh Analysis and Nodal
    Analysis?
    Cementina, John Rhoel

    Answer: Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s law are the fundamental principles of
    mesh analysis and nodal analysis. Kirchhoff’s law has two basic laws namely
    Kirchhoff’s current law and Kirchhoff’s voltage law. Kirchhoff’s current law is
    used in nodal analysis while Kirchhoff’s voltage law is used in mesh analysis.
    Ohm’s law, on the other hand, is used to write currents in terms of the node
    voltages in the circuit for nodal analysis and to represent voltages in terms of
    mesh currents in the circuit for mesh analysis.

    7. Determine the mesh current IX shown in the figure below.


    Cementina, John Rhoel

    Answer:
    8. Determine the mesh currents in the figure below.
    Lat, Dheya Kristalyn

    Answer:
    Mesh 1
    10 V −5 V = ( 2Ω ) I 3+ (2 Ω ) ( I 1−I x )=( 4 Ω ) ( I 1 ) −( 2Ω ) I 2
    Super Mesh (Combination of Mesh 2 and Mesh 3)
    5 V =( 10 Ω ) I x + ( 2Ω ) ( I x −I 1 ) + ( 10 Ω ) I 3 + ( 4 Ω ) I x
    5 V =( 16 Ω ) I x −( 2 Ω ) ( I 1 ) + ( 10 Ω ) I 3
    Since I 3−I 2=3 V x and V x =( 2Ω ) ( I 1−I x )
    I 3−I 2=3 ¿)
    I 3−I 2=( 6 Ω I 1 −6 Ω I x )
    ( 5 Ω ) I x −( 6 Ω ) ( I 1 ) + I 3=0
    I1 = 8A, I2 = 13.50A, and I3 = -19.5A

    9. Determine the node voltages in the circuit below.


    Reyes, Carl Samuel

    Answer:

    The four nodes at the bottom part of the circuit may be illustrated as
    one node, we set it as our reference node (VR).
    Left most Node:
    −8 A−3 A=( 3 mhos ) ( V 1−V 2 ) + ( 4 mhos ) ( V 1−V 3 )
    −11=7 V 1−3 V 2−4 V 3

    Middle Node
    3 A= (3 mhos ) ( V 2 −V 1 )+ ( 2mhos ) ( V 2−V 3 )+ V 2
    3=6 V 2−3 V 1−2 V 3

    Node 3
    25 A= ( 2mhos ) ( V 3−V 2) + ( 4 mhos ) ( V 3−V 1) + 5V 3
    25=11 V 3−2 V 2−4 V 1

    V 1=1.00 V
    V 2=2.00 V
    V 3=3.00 V

    10. Determine the node voltages in the circuit below.


    Cementina, John Rhoel

    Answer:

    Since we have a voltage source shared by two nodes, we thus have to


    combine node 2 and 3

    Node 1
    −8 A−3 A=( 3 mhos ) ( V 1−V 2 ) + ( 4 mhos ) ( V 1−V 3 )
    −11=7 V 1−3 V 2−4 V 3
    Combination of nodes 2 and 3
    25 A+3 A=( 3 mhos ) ( V 2 −V 1 ) + ( 4 mhos ) ( V 3 −V 1 ) +(1 mho)(V 2)+(5 mhos)(V 3 )
    28 A=9 V 3−7 V 1 +4 V 2

    Ix
    We can say that V 3−V 2=
    2
    Since I x =(4 mhos)(V 1 −V 3)
    Therefore,

    2 V 1+V 2−3 V 3=0

    V 1=1.71 V
    V 2=4.25V
    V 3=2.55 V
