4 ABSTRACT In this lab the student will use the Multisim software to verify their calculations of the Mesh Current Analysis of a circuit. They will observe the circuit and determine the number of loops within the circuit to inform the student how many calculations they will be required to calculate. The student will use KVL and Ohm’s Laws’ to calculate the current within each loop during their calculations into the Mesh Current Analysis. I NTRODUCTION Mesh current analysis provides another general procedure for analyzing circuits, using mesh currents as the circuit variables. It is convenient and reduces the number of equations that must be solved simultaneously. Recall that a loop is a closed path with no node passed more than once. A mesh is a loop that does not contain any other loop within it. Loop currents are not actual physical currents. If you’re getting a negative value that just means the current is going in the opposite direction. Kirchhoff’s voltage law, Ohms law is used in the loop current method.
