The Mesh- Current method
“LOOP Analysis”
Mesh-Current Method (Loop Analysis)
• Nodal analysis was developed by applying KCL at each non-
reference node.
• Mesh-Current method is developed by applying KVL around meshes
in the circuit.
• Loop (mesh) analysis results in a system of linear equations which
must be solved for unknown currents.
• Reduces the number of required equations to the number of meshes
• Can be done systematically with little thinking
• As usual, be careful writing mesh equations – follow sign convention.

Mesh: Loop that does not enclose other loops
Branch: Path between 2 essential nodes
How many mesh-currents?
No. of essential nodes Ne = 4
No. of branches
Be = 6
No. of Mesh-currents
M = Be –(Ne-1)
•Enough equations to get unknowns
Steps of Mesh Analysis
1. Identify the number of basic meshes.
2. Assign a current to each mesh.
3. Apply KVL around each loop to get an equation in terms of
the loop currents.
4. Solve the resulting system of linear equations.

4. Writing Mesh-Current Equations
Example
Find the power supplied by the sources using Mesh current method
M= 3-(2-1) = 2
• Assign mesh currents
• Write mesh equations
i1(12) + (i1-i2)2+ i1(4) -12= 0
i2(9) +8+ i2(3) + (i2-i1) 2= 0
• Solve mesh equations:
• I1 = 0.6129 A & I2 = - 0.4838 A
• P12V = -12 I1 & P9V = 8 I2
Mesh current method Cases
Mesh 1
-10 + 4i1 + 6(i1-i2) = 0
Mesh 2
i2 = - 5A
No need to write a loop equation
Case I: When a current source exists only in one mesh
Case II: Super Mesh
Case II: When a current source exists between two meshes (super Mesh)
4i1 + 2 (i1 – i3) + 2(i2 – i3) + 8i2 = 0
i2 – i1 = 5 A
-10 + 2(i3 – i2 ) + 2(i3 –i1) = 0
𝑖2 − 𝑖1 = 4A
2 𝑖1 − 𝑖3 + 4𝑖1 + 8𝑖2 + 6 𝑖2 − 𝑖4 = 0
6 𝑖4 − 𝑖2 + 𝑖4 + 3 𝑖4 − 𝑖3 = 0
−30 + 2 𝑖3 − 𝑖1 + 3 𝑖3 − 𝑖4 = 0
