    Mesh Analysis MTE120

    Uploaded by

    Muhammad Irfan
    This document provides an overview of mesh analysis for circuit analysis. It begins by defining mesh analysis as a systematic technique that applies Kirchhoff's voltage law around each mesh of a circuit to obtain equations relating mesh currents. These equations can then be solved to find the mesh currents and determine any other currents or voltages. Several examples are provided to demonstrate applying mesh analysis to circuits with independent voltage sources, independent current sources, a current source common to meshes, and dependent sources. The key steps are identifying meshes, assigning currents, applying KVL, relating dependent source values to mesh currents, and solving the equations.

    Mesh Analysis
    Objective: To analyze circuits using a systematic technique: the mesh analysis. Mesh Analysis The mesh analysis is a systematic way of applying KVL around each mesh of a circuit and describes the branch voltages in terms of the mesh currents. This will give us a set of equations that we solve together to find the mesh currents. Once we find the mesh currents we can use them to calculate any other currents or voltages of interest. Case #1: Circuits with Independent voltage Sources. Example #1: For following circuit find the mesh currents and use the mesh currents to find .

    Solution Step #1 Identify all of the meshes. Step #2 Assign currents to all of the meshes

    Apply KVL around the mesh #1

    Supermesh: When a current source is common to two meshes we use the concept of supermesh. A supermesh is created from two meshes that have a current source in common as shown in the above figure. Apply KVL around the supermesh

    We have two equations with three unknown variables!!!. The third equation can be obtained by using the relation between the and as follows:

    Solve the three equations , Case #4: Circuits with dependent sources For circuits that include dependent sources, first we ignore the fact that the dependent source is a dependent source and we write the mesh-current equations as we would for a circuit with independent sources. The mesh-current equations will have extra unknown variables for the dependent sources beside to the normal unknown mesh currents. All the extra unknown variable of the dependent sources must be described in term of the mesh currents. There MUST be a relation between the unknown variable of the dependent and the mesh currents, because mesh currents can be used to describe any current or voltage of any branch in the circuit. The following examples will show you how to apply the mesh analysis for circuits with dependent sources.
