Mesh Analysis

• Step 1:- Identify the number of Mesh in the circuit.

• Step 2:- Assume current in each Mesh (any direction).

• Step 3:- Apply KVL in each Mesh and write Mesh equation for each Mesh.

• Step 4:- Solve the Mesh equation and find Mesh current.

• Note:-

Number of Mesh Equation = Number of Mesh

Answer
Super-Mesh

• If a current source is common between two Mesh then it


is called a Super-Mesh. In this case don’t directly apply
KVL in both Mesh. Apply KVL to the Super-Mesh
(Combined Mesh) and apply KCL at common Node to
establish the relation between Mesh Current and Current
Source.
Problem:- Find out the Mesh Current in the given figure
using Mesh analysis.
• Branch h-e consists current source between Mesh-1 and Mesh-2.
That’s why it is a Super-Mesh:-

Now apply KVL to Super-Mesh (g-h-a-d-e-f-g):-

Apply KVL in Mesh-3 :-


5𝑰𝟏 − 2𝑰𝟐 − 𝟔 𝑰𝟐 − 𝑰𝟑 + 𝟔𝟎 = 0
5𝑰𝟏 + 𝟖𝑰𝟐 − 𝟔𝑰𝟑 = 𝟔𝟎 … … … … … … … (𝒊)

Apply KCL at Node h:-

− 𝑰𝟏 + 𝑰𝟐 = 𝟓 … … … … … … (𝒊𝒊)
Apply KVL in Mesh-3 :-

- 50 − 𝟔 𝑰𝟑 − 𝑰𝟐 − 𝟑𝑰𝟑 = 𝟎
