Mesh Analysis uses the KCL equations and the element equations to eliminate variables, reduces the number of pertinent variables to (b – n + 1) mesh current variables and uses the second set of equations (KVL equations) to solve for these variables.
Mesh analysis is applicable only to planar networks. A planar network is one that can be drawn on a plane without any component crossing over another. Consider the two circuits shown in Fig. 4.7-1.
The circuit in Fig. 4.7-1 (a) is non-planar since it cannot be drawn on a plane surface without crossovers. The circuit in Fig. 4.7-1(b) is planar, though there appears to be a crossover due to the way it is drawn in Fig. 4.7-1 ...
