4.9 MESH ANALYSIS OF CIRCUITS CONTAINING DEPENDENT SOURCES
Dependent voltage sources do not pose any problems for mesh analysis. Independent voltage
sources appear on the right-hand side of mesh equations. However, dependent voltage sources
affect the coefficients of mesh current variables on the left-hand side of mesh equations.
The controlling variable of a linear dependent voltage source will be a voltage or a
current existing elsewhere in the circuit. However, any voltage or current variable in the cir-
cuit can be expressed in terms of mesh current variables. Hence, the dependent voltage
source function can be expressed in terms of mesh current ...
