This document provides an overview of mesh current analysis for solving DC circuits. It discusses using Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) and the matrix method to set up and solve systems of equations for branch currents. It also covers analyzing circuits with current sources by excluding elements connected to the source to form a supermesh. Examples are provided on using mesh analysis to find branch currents in circuits with multiple meshes and current sources.

Mesh Analysis with Current Sources

When a current source exists only in one mesh:


When a current source exists between two meshes
We create a supermesh by excluding the current source and any
elements connected in series with it,

A supermesh results when two meshes have a (dependent or


independent) current source in common.
