DISCUSSION:

PROTO was used by the student to calculate the component readings.

a certain circuit The student employed many formulae for the calculating component,
including Kirchhoff's Voltage and Current Law, Mesh current analysis, and others.

CONCLUSION:

The student learns how to use Mesh and other tools to examine a circuit for this
project. Analyze the nodes. In addition, the student learnt about the impact of mesh
analysis on the circuit.
We determined that the mesh analysis approach is a more convenient model
for examining planar multiple loop circuits with multiple active sources (the source
must be a voltage source) in this laboratory experiment. A current source must be
translated to an equivalent voltage source if one exists. Kirchhoff's Current Law is
also employed in nodal analysis, as we discovered. We learnt about the supernode,
which is employed when there is only one active source between two nodes, and the
concentration point is at nodes where the primary equation is found. The active
source and this pair of nodes are referred to as a supernode. As a node, we can
state that the currenrt entering the supernode is equal to the current exiting it.
Questions and Problems:
Answers:

1. A mesh current is a loop that does not contain any other loops within the
Mesh is necessary. It is one of two well-organized ways for resolving a problem
circuit.

2. It means that the ideal current's direction is incorrect. It will be rectified.

converting a negative number to a positive value

3. In (a), the mesh current is equal to the current supplied by the current supply.
For (b), there is a super mesh, which is made up of two meshes that hold the same
data. Current source avoids the current source by going around the perimeter of the
two meshes.
source.

4. N-1 is the number of nodal equations obtained.

5. In (a) the Node Voltage Method is employed while for (b) the Super Nodal Analysis
is applied.

6. The Kirchoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL).

7. Solution:
Mesh 1: − 24V + 5I1 + 20(I1 – I2) + 40V = 0

−16V = 25 I1 − 20 I2

Mesh 2: − 40V + 10 I2 + 20(I1 – I2) + 36V = 0

4V = −20 I1 + 30 I2

I1 = −1.14A and I2 = −0.63A

Ix = I1
Ix = −1.14

8. Solution:

Vx = 10V − 5V
Vx = 5V

10V − 5V = 4 I1 − 2 I2
5V = 4 I1 − 2 I2
5V = −2 I1 + 16 I2 + 10 I3
6 I1 − 5 I2 – I3 = 0
I1 = 8A
I2 = 13.5A
I3 = −19.5A
9. Solution:
Node 1:

−8A − 3A = 3(V1 – V2) − 4(V1 − V3) = 0

−11A = 7V1 − 3V2 − 4V3
Node 2:
3(V1 − V2) = −3A + 2(V2 − V3
) + V2

3A = −3V1 + 6V2 − 2V3

2(V2 − V3) + 4(V1 − V3) = −25A + 5V3
25A = −4V1 − 2V2 + 11V3

−11A = 7V1 − 3V2 − 4V3

3A = −3V1 + 6V2 − 2V3
25A = −4V1 − 2V2 + 11V3

V1 = 1V
V2 = 2V
V3 = 3V

10. Solution:

Node 1:

−8 − 3 = (3 + 4) Va − 3Vb − 4Vc = 0
−11 = 7Va − 3Vb − 4Vc
Node 2:
3 + 25 = (1 + 5 + 3)VC + 4Vb − (3 + 4)Va
28 = −7Va + 4Vb + 9Vc
Node 3:
2Va + Vb − 3Vc = 0

Va = 1.705V
Vb = 4.24V
Vc = 2.55V
