Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve for the loop currents , , , and the dependent current source value using mesh analysis, we will proceed step by step:
1. Label the Mesh Currents:
- Let the loop currents be , , and as shown in the diagram.
- The dependent current source is given as , where is the current in the 4Ω resistor.
2. Mesh Analysis (KVL) Equations:
We'll write Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) equations for each of the three loops.
Loop 1 (Mesh 1: ):
For the left-most loop with 24V source, and resistors: Simplifying: 22i_1 - 12i_3 = 24 \tag{1}
Loop 2 (Mesh 2: ):
For the middle loop, with the dependent source and resistors and : Simplifying: 7i_2 = i_3 \tag{2}
Loop 3 (Mesh 3: ):
For the right-most loop, with the dependent current source and resistors and : [ 12(i_3 - i_1) + 4(i_3 - i
