KVL rule:

L1:

-5+100i1+ (100ii-i2) =0 1

L2:

5 + 100i2 +1000(i2-i1) +1000i2 =0 2

L3:

-5+470i3 +3900i3 =0 3

From (1):

100i1+1000i1-1000i2=5

1100i1-1000i2=5 4

From (2):

100i2+1000i2-1000i1+1000i2= -5

-1000i1+2100i2= -5 5

From (3):

4370i3=5

I3=1.14mA

Multiply (5) by 1.1:

-1100i1+2310i2= -5.5

Add (4) and (6):

I2 =-0.38mA

Putting the value of i2 in (1):

I1 = -4.2mA
VOLTAGE:

V1= IR=0.42V

V2= (i1-i2) R2=4.58V

V3=i2R3= -0.38V

V4=i2R4 =-0.038V

V5=i3R5 =0.53V

V6=i3R6 =4.45V

CURRENT:

Current through R1 = i1 = 4.2mA

Current through R2 = i1-i2 =4.58mA

Current through R3 = i2 = -0.38mA

Current through R4 = i2 =-0.38mA

Current through R5 = i3 =1.14mA

Current through R6 = i 3 =1.14mA

 POST-LAB TASKS

1. What is the difference between mesh and loop?

Loop:

A loop is a closed path in a circuit where two nodes are not traversed twice except
the initial point, which is also the final one. In a loop other paths can be included inside.

Mesh:

A mesh is a loop that has no other loops inside of it.

2. What is super mesh? Does the circuit in figure 11.1 contain any super mesh?
Super Mesh:
 A super mesh occurs when a current source is contained between two essential
meshes. The circuit is first treated as if the current source is not there.

Yes figure 11.1 contain a super mesh that is the combined mesh form by the meshes of
currents i2 and i3.
