Question

The mesh current method
(I) Works with both planar and non-planar circuits
(II) Uses Kirchhoff’s voltage law
Which of the above is correct?

• A. I and II
• B. II only
• C. I only
• D. Neither I nor II

Hint:

When studying mesh current method, focus on the application of Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) and the restriction to planar circuits.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The mesh current method is a technique used for analyzing planar circuits, and it applies Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) to find currents in the mesh loops. The method works specifically for planar circuits, not non-planar circuits. Therefore, statement (I) is incorrect, while statement (II) is true, as the mesh current method uses Kirchhoff’s voltage law. Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
