Loop (Mesh) Analysis • Loop (mesh) analysis is the systematic application of KVL around various loops in a circuit. • The KVL equations are written in terms of loop currents, common to all elements in a loop. • The result will be a system of equations in which the unknowns are these loop currents. • The solution of these equations will, therefore, yield values for the loop currents. Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 1 Definition of a loop Definition: A loop is a path which satisfies both of the following conditions: • the path begins and ends at the same point (node) • no element is traversed more than once. There are six (6) loops in the circuit below. Three loops are shown, each marked by a a b c R1 Vs + - R2 R4 d R3 R5 R6 #1: a-b-e-a #2: b-c-e-b #3: c-d-e-c e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 2 More Loops The remaining three are loops shown below #4: a-b-c-d-e-a #5: a-b-c-e-a #6: b-c-d-e-b a b c R1 Vs + - R2 R4 d R3 R5 R6 e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 3 Clockwise Convention The diagram is rather “busy” when all six loops are shown. Although loops can be drawn in either direction, the convention is to use a clockwise direction, as shown. a b c R1 Vs + - R2 R4 d R3 R5 R6 e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 4 Mesh Versus Loop A mesh is a special type of loop, one which contains no other loops inside. Below, meshes are marked by a Loops are marked by a a b c R1 Vs + - R2 R4 d R3 R5 R6 e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 5 Mesh Analysis • To keep the analysis as systematic as possible, we use (if possible) only meshes to perform loop analysis (mesh analysis). • There are cases (when a mesh traverses a current source) when we must use a loop in place of a mesh. a b c R1 Vs + - R2 R4 d R3 R5 R6 e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 6 Mesh Currents • A mesh current is assigned to each mesh as shown. • A mesh current is the amount of current common to all elements in the mesh. • Mesh current is not (necessarily) the same as branch current. • Branch current is the actual current in an element and may be made up of more than one mesh current. a b c R1 Vs + - I1 R4 d R2 R3 I2 I3 R5 R6 e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 7 Mesh vs. Branch Currents Branch (element) currents can be written in terms of mesh currents: Iab = I1 Icb = -I2 Icd = I3 Ibe = I1 - I2 Iec = I3 - I2 Iab a b Icb R1 Vs + - I1 R4 c Icd d R2 Iec R3 I2 I3 R5 R6 Ibe e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 8 Loop (Mesh) Analysis and KVL Loop analysis applies KVL around each loop writing the voltage drops in terms of the loop currents. The convention is to assume all resistive voltages are voltage drops as one follows a loop current around the loop. The resulting equation for loop #1 is: Vs = R1I1 + R4(I1 -I2) = I1 (R1+R2) - I2 R4 a + - b c R1 Vs + - I1 + R4 - d R2 R3 I2 I3 R5 R6 e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 9 Loop #2 The resulting equation for mesh #2 is: 0 = R2I2 + R5(I2 -I3) + R4 (I2-I1) 0 = - I1 R4 + I2 (R2+R4+R5) - I3 R5 a +- b R1 Vs + - I1 c R2 R4 + I2 d R3 R5 + - I3 R6 e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 10 Loop #3 The resulting equation for mesh #3 is: 0 = R3I3 + R6I3 + R5(I3 -I2) 0 = - I2 R5 + I3 (R3+R5+R6) a b c R1 Vs + - I1 R2 I2 R4 +- d R3 R5 + I3 R6 + - e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 11 Loop Equations – Matrix Form The equations represented in matrix form are: R4 0 R1 R 4 I1 VS R4 I 2 0 R 2 R 4 R5 R5 R5 R3 R5 R6 I 3 0 0 a Vs + - b R1 I1 c R2 I2 R4 R3 d I3 R5 R6 e Fall 2001 ENGR201 - Loop Analysis 12 Matrix Structure Notice the structure: the coefficients of I1, I2, and I3 in their respective mesh equations are the sum of the resistors in that mesh.

These equations can be solved for the mesh currents. Any voltage or branch current can be found from the values of the mesh currents.
