Network Solution :-
To solve a circuit is to find the current and voltage in all branches.
1) Loop ( Mesh ) current method :-
Example( 1 ):- Find the current through the 10 resistor of the network
shown:
10

I3
8 5

3
2
I1 I2

15V

Solution :-
Loop * + Loop * -

. ( = Loop )

The loop equations are :-

Loop 1 :-
- ( 8+3 )I1 + 3I2 +8I3 + 15 = 0
Loop 2 :-
- ( 3+5+2 )I2 + 3I1 +5I3 = 0
Loop 3 :-
- ( 10+8+5 )I3 + 8I1 +5I2 = 0
Rearrange the equations , then :-
-11I1 + 3I2 +8I3 = -15
3I1 - 10I2 +5I3 = 0
8I1 + 5I2 - 23I3 = 0

Example( 2 ):- Solve following circuit diagram;

Solution :-
-I1 ( 5+7 ) + 7I2 + 20 5 = 0
-I2 ( 7+2+6 ) + 7I1 + 6I3 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 0

Rearrange;
-12I1 + 7I2 +0 = -15 ------------------- (1)
7I1 - 15I2 +6I3 = -15 ------------------- (2)
0 + 6I2 - 14I3 = 35 ------------------- (3)

Example( 3 ):- Find the current in the 10V source , for the following network;

Solution :-
I2 = -5 A
Hence , we need only one equation to solve this circuit

-I1 ( 4+6 ) + 6 * ( -5 ) + 10 = 0
-10I1 20 = 0 -10I1 = 20
