This lecture covers the fundamentals of mesh current analysis, a crucial technique in circuit theory. By focusing on mesh currents rather than branch currents, we simplify the circuit analysis process. The Mesh Current Method results in fewer equations and expresses all variables in terms of mesh currents, fully defining the circuit's behavior. Examples illustrate applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) across different meshes, using Ohm’s Law, and introducing forced meshes and supermesh techniques to tackle complex circuits efficiently.
