What is Mesh Analysis?
In circuit analysis, loop is an important term. Any closed path in a circuit is known as a loop. In mesh analysis, we solve the circuit by defining meshes in the circuit. A mesh is a loop that does not have any inner loop or it is the smallest possible loop in the circuit. Mesh analysis is only applicable to the planar network. A planar network is a network that can be drawn in a plane where none of its branches are crossing one another. A circuit network can be rearranged to make it planar but it can’t be simplified to make the network a planar network.
Mesh Analysis
In this article, We will discuss mesh current method. We will discuss the definition of mesh and the Steps for applying mesh analysis. We will discuss some rules that should be kept in mind while solving the circuits using Mesh analysis. We will also discuss the super mesh analysis and the steps for implementing it. Later in the article, we will differentiate between nodal and mesh analysis. At the end, we will discuss the applications, advantages, and disadvantages of the mesh analysis.
