The Mesh analysis and Node analysis are useful way to find the current and voltage across a certain branch of circuit. I don t think there is enough information on this subject. For a learner, I don' t think he can performa the analysis by just looking at the article. Can somebody help extent it with some details and examples, as well as some cross-reference?
Here are some details I suggest: - the inventor of the Mesh method - step by step examples
identify the mesh loops forming the linear equations with mesh current as the variable solving the matrix
- limitations on applying Mesh analysis, such as a circuit in 3D space, etc.
I have been editing this article and trying to make it better. Is there information that I am missing or am I including too much information? Does the structure of the article make sense. Is there anyway that I can make the article better? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Mrball25 ( talk) 18:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I have reverted a recent edit which removed the reference to loop analysis. Works I have read which even bother to distinguish the two would have it that loop analysis is a less rigid procedure than mesh analysis. That is, it is similar, but the loops do not have to be essential meshes and one is consequently not guaranteed to have a minimised set of equations. On the other hand, I believe some authors treat the two terms as equivalent. Loop analysis redirects here so it is right that the article refers to it. Either the two terms should be disambiguated here in this article as necessary or else create a new article for loop analysis altogether. SpinningSpark 17:54, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Loop analysis is correctly defined as a general method of circuit analysis (the dual of nodal analysis) applicable to all circuits (not just planar circuits). Loop analysis is not "less ridged" than mesh analysis (if anything there are more rules to deal with), nor are the terms interchangeable. Loop analysis does guarantee a set of solvable equations for every solvable circuit (Mesh analysis guarantees this only for planar circuits). Mesh analysis does not necessarily "reduce the number of equations needed to solve the circuit" compared to other techniques such as nodal or loop analysis, although it sometimes achieves this goal. Most traditional linear circuits textbooks present a structured development only for mesh analysis and then reserve the term "loop analysis" for single mesh circuits where loop analysis degenerates to mesh analysis. One text that does include a significant section on loop analysis is Hayt and Kemmerly, Engineering Circuit Analysis, 5th edition, pages 95-100. I have edited the opening paragraph to reflect these points. Dfdeboer ( talk) 20:06, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
I have reverted the change to svg diagrams. It is not really essential that they are changed, the png format is perfectly adequate for what is needed here. I find the new diagrams lack the clarity of the old ones. In addition there are some errors - current sources are shown as capacitors in two places. Spinning Spark 12:40, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
I have just changed all the lower case currents in the math markup to match the diagrams. The equations were mixing upper case (phasor) voltages with lower case (instantaneous) currents, which is incorrect. Spinning Spark 09:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
