How Does Substitution Work in Mesh Analysis Equations?

AI Thread Summary
Substitution in mesh analysis involves replacing variables in equations to simplify calculations. The discussion highlights the application of Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) at a specific node, illustrating how currents are related. The user initially struggled with understanding the derivation of a subsequent equation but realized it was a straightforward substitution of current values. This clarification emphasizes the importance of recognizing relationships between currents in mesh analysis. Understanding these substitutions is crucial for effective circuit analysis.

I understand everything up to the point which I've marked in red...

Can anyone explain those few lines?

I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks.

Seems like KCL (Kirchoff's Current Law) at node A.
i1 = i0 + i2

(sum of currents entering) = (sum of currents leaving)

I understand that part, but how did they derive the equation below that line?
 
They just substituted into the equation above.

Oh, I see it now. I totally misunderstood the fact that they were simply substituting i0 = i1 - i2 into the third mesh equation.

Thanks :-)
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
