Mesh analysis (or the mesh current method) is a circuit analysis method for planar circuits; planar circuits are circuits that can be drawn on a plane surface with no wires crossing each other. A more general technique, called loop analysis (with the corresponding network variables called loop currents) can be applied to any circuit, planar or not[citation needed].
Mesh analysis and loop analysis both make systematic use of Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) to arrive at a set of equations guaranteed to be solvable if the circuit has a solution.[1] Similarly, nodal analysis is a systematic application of Kirchhoff's current law (KCL). Mesh analysis is usually easier to use when the circuit is planar, compared to loop analysis.[2]
