    This document provides 10 examples of using mesh analysis to solve for unknown currents and voltages in various circuits. Mesh analysis employs Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) and solves mesh equations simultaneously to find the unknown currents flowing in each mesh of the circuit. It can be used to determine currents in planar circuits where meshes are clearly defined. The examples showcase applying mesh analysis to calculate mesh currents, voltages, and using super meshes when circuits share common elements.

    1.

    Find the value of the currents I1, I2 and I3 flowing clockwise in the first, second and third mesh
    respectively.

    a) 1.54A, -0.189A, -1.195A


    b) 2.34A, -3.53A, -2.23A
    c) 4.33A, 0.55A, 6.02A
    d) -1.18A, -1.17A, -1.16A
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: The three mesh equations are:
    -3I1+2I2-5=0
    2I1-9I2+4I3=0
    4I2-9I3-10=0
    Solving the equations, we get I1= 1.54A, I2=-0.189 and I3= -1.195A.

    2. Find the value of the currents I1 and I2 flowing clockwise in the first and second mesh respectively.

    a) 0.96A, 1.73A
    b) 0.96A, -1.73A
    c) -0.96A, 1.73A
    d) -0.96A, -1.73A
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: The two mesh equations are:
    5I1-3I2=10
    -3I1+7I2=-15
    Solving the equations simultaneously, we get I1=0.96A and I2=-1.73A.
    3. Find the value of V if the current in the 3 ohm resistor=0.

    a) 3.5V
    b) 6.5V
    c) 7.5V
    d) 8.5V
    View Answer

    Answer: c
    Explanation: Taking the mesh currents in the three meshes as I1, I2 and I3, the mesh equations are:
    3I1+0I2+0V=5
    -2I1-4I2+0V=0
    0I1+9I2+V=0
    Solving these equations simultaneously and taking the value of I2=0, we get V=7.5V.

    4. Find the value of V1 if the current through the 1 ohm resistor=0A.

    a) 83.33V
    b) 78.89V
    c) 87.87V
    d) 33.33V
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: Taking I1, I2 and I3 as the currents in the three meshes and taking I3=0 since it is the current
    across the 1 ohm resistor, the three mesh equations are:
    15I1-5I2=V1
    -5I1+10I2=0
    3I2=10
    Solving these equations simultaneously we get V1= 83.33V.

    5. Calculate the mesh currents I1 and I2 flowing in the first and second meshes respectively.

    a) 1.75A, 1.25A
    b) 0.5A, 2.5A
    c) 2.3A, 0.3A
    d) 3.2A, 6.5A
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: In this circuit, we have a super mesh present.
    Let I1 and I2 be the currents in loops in clockwise direction. The two mesh equations are:
    I2-I1=3
    -5I1-3I2=5
    Solving these equations simultaneously, we get I1 = -1.75A and I2 = 1.25A.
    Since no specific direction given so currents in loop 1 and loop 2 are 1.75A and 1.25A respectively.

    6. I1 is the current flowing in the first mesh. I2 is the current flowing in the second mesh and I3 is the
    current flowing in the top mesh. If all three currents are flowing in the clockwise direction, find the value of
    I1, I2 and I3.

    a) 7.67A, 10.67A, 2A
    b) 10.67A, 7.67A, 2A
    c) 7.67A, 8.67A, 2A
    d) 3.67A, 6.67A, 2A
    View Answer
    Answer: a
    Explanation: The two meshes which contain the 3A current is a super mesh. The three mesh equations
    therefore are:
    I3=2A
    I2-I1=3
    -2I1-I2=-26
    Solving these equations simultaneously we get:
    I1=7.67A, I2=10.67A and I3=2A.

    7. Calculate the mesh currents.

    a) 7A, 6A, 6.22A


    b) 2A, 1A, 0.57A
    c) 3A, 4A, 5.88A
    d) 6A, 7A, 8.99A
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: The two meshes which contain the 3A source, act as a supper mesh. The mesh equations are:
    I1-I3=-3
    4I1-14I2+11I3=10
    4I1-28I2+10I3=0
    Solving these equations simultaneously, we get the three currents as
    I1=-1A, I2=0.57A, I3=2A
    So currents are 2A, 1A, 0.57A.

    8. Mesh analysis employs the method of ___________


    a) KVL
    b) KCL
    c) Both KVL and KCL
    d) Neither KVL nor KCL
    View Answer
    Answer: a
    Explanation: KVL employs mesh analysis to find the different mesh currents by finding the IR products in
    each mesh.

    9. Mesh analysis is generally used to determine _________


    a) Voltage
    b) Current
    c) Resistance
    d) Power
    View Answer

    Answer: b
    Explanation: Mesh analysis uses Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law to find all the mesh currents. Hence it is a method
    used to determine current.

    10. Mesh analysis can be used for __________


    a) Planar circuits
    b) Non-planar circuits
    c) Both planar and non-planar circuits
    d) Neither planar nor non-planar circuits
    View Answer

    Answer: a
    Explanation: If the circuit is not planar, the meshes are not clearly defined. In planar circuits, it is easy to
    draw the meshes hence the meshes are clearly defined.
