Questions tagged [mesh-analysis]
For questions about mesh analysis, a circuit analysis method that is used to solve for the currents (and indirectly the voltages) at any place in a planar circuit (planar circuits are circuits that can be drawn on a plane surface without any wires crossing each other). Always use in conjunction with the "circuit-analysis" tag.
