Mesh Analysis
Mesh analysis applies KVL to find unknown
currents.
It is only applicable to planar circuits (a circuit that
can be drawn on a plane with no branches crossing
each other).
A mesh is a loop that does not contain any other
loops.
The current through a mesh is known as the mesh
current.
Assume for simplicity that the circuit contains only
voltage sources.

The matrix R is symmetric, rkj = rjk and all of the off-diagonal terms
are negative or zero.
The rkk terms are the sum of all resistances in mesh k.
The rkj terms are the negative sum of the resistances common to
BOTH mesh k and mesh j.
The vk (the kth component of the vector v) = the algebraic sum of the
independent voltages in mesh k, with voltage rises taken as positive.
