Lecture 4
Mesh Analysis: Basic Concepts:

 In formulating mesh analysis we assign a mesh


current to each mesh.

 Mesh currents are sort of fictitious in that a particular


mesh current does not define the current in each branch
of the mesh to which it is assigned.

I1 I2 I3
R1 R2
V1 _ + _
+ V2

+ +
VA VL1 Rx VB
_ I1 _
I2 _

Around mesh 1:

I1 R1 + (I1 − I 2 )RX = VA

so, ( R1 + RX ) I1 − RX I 2 = VA
R1 R2
V1 _ + _
+ V2

VA VL1 Rx VB
_ I1 _
I2 _

Around mesh 2 we have

( I 2 − I1 ) RX + I 2 R2 = −VB

or − RX I1 + ( RX + R2 ) I 2 = − VB
( R1 + RX ) I1 − RX I 2 = VA Eq 7.5

− RX I1 + ( RX + R2 ) I 2 = −VB Eq 7.6

We can easily solve these equations for I1 and I2.


Solve the circuit by mesh analysis and find the current Ix and the voltage across R2.
IS1=I1=2A
IS2=−I3=4A
Solve the circuit and find the power of sources:
