MESH ANALYSIS
(“Mesh-Current Method”)
1) Select M (independent) mesh currents such that at least
one mesh current passes through each branch
M = #branches - #nodes + 1
2) Apply KVL to each mesh,
expressing voltages in terms of
mesh currents
=> M equations for
M unknown mesh currents
3) Solve for mesh currents
=> determine node voltages
