Question 1) For the circuit in picture,
a) what is the minimum number of mesh (or loop) equations required to find all branch currents
in the circuit. Arrange the mesh equations in a matrix form.
b) What is the minimum number of node equations required to solve for all voltages across the
components of the circuit. Arrange the node equations in a matrix form.
c) Which method (mesh or node) do you think is more computationally efficient for this circuit.
