Mesh Current Analysis for Determining I1, I2, and I1 + I2 in a Network

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Mesh current analysis is employed to determine the currents I1, I2, and the sum I1 + I2 in a given electrical network. The equations derived from the mesh analysis are: Mesh A: (47Ω)iA + (j100Ω)(iA - iB) = 12∠00 and Mesh B: -(j100Ω)(iA - iB) + (-75j)iB = -10∠00. The discussion highlights the importance of distributing complex impedances and combining like terms to simplify the equations effectively. Participants suggest focusing on the distribution of the j100Ω term to resolve the calculations.

Use mesh-current analysis to determine currents I1, I2 and I1 + I2 for the network shown.My calculation so far:

Mesh A: v1+v2=12∠00
Mesh B: -v2+v3=-10∠00

v1=i1RA=(47Ω)iA
v2=iAR2=R2(iA-iB)=(j100Ω)(iA-iB)
v3=iBR3=(-75j)iB

Mesh A: (47Ω)iA+(j100Ω)(iA-iB)=12∠00
Mesh B: -(j100Ω)(iA-iB)+(-75j)iB=-10∠00

I'm stuck

Have you tried distributing j100 Ohm and -j100 Ohm and then combining like terms?
