This guide provides a step-by-step approach to determining mesh currents in electrical circuits using Mathematica. In Step 1, you'll learn how to calculate the number of mesh currents and the corresponding equations needed. Step 2 focuses on applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) around each mesh and solving the equations. The provided example illustrates how to handle essential branches and nodes. Use the given Mathematica format to efficiently solve and evaluate your circuit equations, even when dealing with supermeshes and current sources.

Step 1: Determine # of mesh currents be=5 ne=3 # of equations: be-(ne-1)=5-(3-1)=3
Step 1 # of essential branch: 6 # of essential nodes: 4 # of equations: 6-(4-1)=3
Step 2 See in the handout.
