This page provides a step-by-step introduction to using the mesh current method (also known as the loop current method) for analyzing electrical circuits. The mesh current method uses …

Mesh Current Analysis is a method used in electrical circuit analysis to calculate the currents flowing in the loops (or “meshes”) of a circuit. It is particularly useful for planar circuits (circuits …

Solve the easy mesh currents, the ones that pass through a constant current source. Write Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law around each mesh. Solve the resulting system of equations to get the …

The Mesh Current Method, also known as the Loop Current Method, is quite similar to the Branch Current method in that it uses simultaneous equations, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, and Ohm's …

Mesh Current Analysis Method is used to analyze and solve the electrical network having various sources or the circuit consisting of several meshes or loop with a voltage or current sources. It …

This lesson provides guidance on how to apply the mesh-current method to circuits that contain one or more current sources. When you complete this lesson, you should know the following:

We can make a small adjustment to the Mesh Current Method to help us with the two special cases—in addition to meshes, allow loops to participate in the equation-building process. …

First, we need to identify the loops in our circuit. As we can see in the scheme above, the first loop consists of the battery V_1 V 1, and two resistors (R_2 R2 and R_3 R3). The second one …

Define mesh currents flowing around the loops that make up a circuit. Then use KVL to relate the voltages around each loop. Convert voltage equations to mesh-current equations using Ohm’s …

The first step in the Mesh Current method is to identify “loops” within the circuit encompassing all components. In our example circuit, the loop formed by B 1, R 1, and R 2 will be the first while …
