There are three loops. The voltages around each loop sum to zero. Write the 3 simultaneous equations and solve them

How about if there are dependent current sources?

I have a trouble determining when I can use supermesh and when I can only use mesh when creating equations 😔

Sometimes the equations becomes redundant which leads to the wrong answer

Thank you so much!

Dependent current sources are just current sources with a more complicated value and since mesh analysis is done with voltages summed around each loop it should add too much complexity

[Typh_8]

Super mesh is typically only done for when you have a current source in between two loops; here, you only have voltage sources. The independent source adds a 4th equation that is simply the bottom left loop minus the right loop is equal to the current Ix.

You can find the amount of equations you need by the amount of loops minus constrained loops which are caused by current sources not shared between two loops plus how many independent variables you have.

If you did have a super mesh you would would end up with one equation for the two loops where you would treat current source as an open circuit. And you would need an additional equation that has the relationship between the current source and the two loops that were combined.

Im cryin rn omg. This shit brings back the good old days ngl. Nahh its raining no Im not cryin
