Mesh Analysis 2

 In this example, we tried our hand at mesh analysis. In order to do mesh analysis, we have to do a loop that contains the current of each individual block of the circuit. Mesh analysis focuses on the voltage inside of each block of the circuit. Since we are analyzing voltage, v=ir, we can solve for the current at any given part of the circuit. (Which is what we did for this example of mesh analysis).

 We did the first example wrong, then re-did the problem getting it right in this picture.

 This in another example of mesh analysis. This type of circuit is more common than the preceding example. This is also the pre-lab for mesh analysis 2. We determined the current of circuit using matrix analysis.

 This is a diagram of the built circuit for mesh analysis 2.

 In this photo, we do mesh analysis of a transistor. In order to achieve this, we must convert the transistor from the first diagram to the second diagram. In the second diagram, all of the internal components of the transistor are shown.

 The class did not fully understand, thus, the professor had to explain on the board.

This is the built circuit for mesh analysis 2 using waveform along with a volt meter.
