To solve for the loop currents \( i_1 \), \( i_2 \), \( i_3 \), 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 \( i_1 \), \( i_2 \), and \( i_3 \) as shown in the diagram.
- The dependent current source is given as \( 4i_0 \), where \( i_0 \) 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: \( i_1 \)):
For the left-most loop with 24V source, \( 10 \Omega \) and \( 12 \Omega \) resistors:
\[
24 - 10i_1 - 12(i_1 - i_3) = 0
\]
Simplifying:
\[
24 - 22i_1 + 12i_3 = 0
\]
\[
22i_1 - 12i_3 = 24 \tag{1}
\]

#### Loop 2 (Mesh 2: \( i_2 \)):
For the middle loop, with the dependent source \( 4i_0 \) and resistors \( 4 \Omega \) and \( 24 \Omega \):
\[
24i_2 + 4(i_2 - i_3) = 0
\]
Simplifying:
\[
28i_2 - 4i_3 = 0
\]
\[
7i_2 = i_3 \tag{2}
\]

#### Loop 3 (Mesh 3: \( i_3 \)):
For the right-most loop, with the dependent current source and resistors \( 12 \Omega \) and \( 4 \Omega \):
\[
12(i_3 - i_1) + 4(i_3 - i

Find loop currents i1, i2, i3, and the value of the dependent source using mesh analysis.

In this example, we solve for the loop currents i1, i2, i3 using mesh analysis and Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL). The problem involves a dependent current source related to the current in one of the loops. Step-by-step analysis includes writing KVL equations for each loop and solving the system of equations.
