Lecture Outline
• Introduction
• Mesh Analysis
• Example Problems
• Exercise Problems

2
Introduction
• Mesh analysis provides another general procedure for
analyzing circuits, using mesh currents as the circuit variables.

• Using mesh currents instead of element currents as circuit


variables is convenient and reduces the number of equations
that must be solved simultaneously.

• Nodal analysis applies KCL to find unknown voltages in a


given circuit, while mesh analysis applies KVL to find
unknown currents.

What is Mesh?
• Recall that a loop is a closed path with no node passed more than
once.

• A mesh is a loop that does not contain any other loop within it.

• In figure paths abefa and bcdeb


are meshes, but path abcdefa is
not a mesh.

• The current through a mesh is


known as mesh current.

Mash Analysis

• Steps to Determine Mesh Currents:

1. Assign mesh currents , , to the meshes.

2. Apply KVL to each of the meshes. Use Ohm’s law to


express the voltages in terms of the mesh currents.

3. Solve the resulting simultaneous equations to get the mesh


currents.

5
Mash Analysis
• To illustrate the steps, consider the following circuit.

• Step-1: Mesh currents and are assigned


to meshes 1 and 2.

• Although a mesh current may be assigned to each mesh in an arbitrary


direction, it is conventional to assume that each mesh current
flows clockwise.

• Step-2: We apply KVL to each mesh.

• Step-3: Solve the equations to find mesh currents.

Example-12.1
• For the following circuit find the branch currents , and using mesh analysis.

• Solution: We first obtain the mesh currents


using KVL.
• For mesh 1
− 15 +5 𝑖1 +10 ( 𝑖1 − 𝑖2 ) +10= 0
3 𝑖1 − 2 𝑖2=1 (1)
• For mesh 2
− 10 +10 ( 𝑖2 − 𝑖1 ) + 6 𝑖2 + 4 𝑖2= 0

− 𝑖1 + 2𝑖2 =1 (2)

• Adding eq (1) and (2)


𝑖1= 1 𝐴
• Substitute in equation (2)
𝑖2 =1 𝐴 8
Example-12.1
𝑖1= 1 𝐴
𝑖2 =1 𝐴
𝐼 1=𝑖1= 1 𝐴

𝐼 2=𝑖2 =1 𝐴

𝐼 3=𝑖 1 −𝑖 2=0 𝐴

Example-12.2
• Use mesh analysis to find current in following circuit.

• Solution: Apply KVL to all three


meshes.

• For mesh 1
− 24 +10 ( 𝑖1 − 𝑖 2 ) +12(𝑖1 − 𝑖3 )= 0
11 𝑖1 − 5 𝑖2 − 6 𝑖3 =12 (1)
• For mesh 2
10 ( 𝑖 2 −𝑖1 ) + 24 𝑖2 + 4 (𝑖 ¿ ¿ 2 −𝑖 3)=0 ¿

−5 𝑖1 +19 𝑖2 −2 𝑖3 =0 (2)

• For mesh 3
12 ( 𝑖3 − 𝑖1 ) + 4 ( 𝑖3 − 𝑖2 ) + 4 𝐼 𝑜 =0 𝐼 𝑜=𝑖1 − 𝑖2
− 𝑖1 − 𝑖2 + 2𝑖3 =0 (3) 10
Example-12.2
11 𝑖1 − 5 𝑖2 − 6 𝑖3 =12 (1) −5 𝑖1 +19 𝑖2 −2 𝑖3 =0 (2) − 𝑖1 − 𝑖2 + 2𝑖3 =0 (3)

• In matrix form

• We obtain the determinants as

Example-12.2

• Thus

𝐼 𝑜=𝑖1 −𝑖2 =2.25 − 0.75=1.5 𝐴

• For mesh 1

− 4 +2 ( 𝑖1 − 𝑖2 ) +2 ( 𝑖 1 − 𝑖 3 ) +5 𝑖1= 0

• For mesh 2

− 10 +2 𝑖2 +2 ( 𝑖2 − 𝑖1 ) + 4 +4 ( 𝑖2 − 𝑖3 ) + ( 𝑖2 − 𝑖5 ) +(𝑖 2 − 𝑖 4 )= 0

• For mesh 3

− 6 + 4 ( 𝑖 3 − 𝑖2 ) +2 ( 𝑖3 − 𝑖 1) +3 𝑖3 ++12=0
