a.

Mesh analysis (or the mesh current method) is a method that is used to solve planar
circuits for the currents (and indirectly the voltages) at any place in the electrical circuit.
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.

b. Nodal Analysis is a method of determining the voltage (potential difference) between

"nodes" (points where elements or branches connect) in an electrical circuit in terms of
the branch currents. In analyzing a circuit using Kirchhoff's circuit laws, one can either
do nodal analysis using Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) or mesh analysis using Kirchhoff's
voltage law (KVL). Nodal analysis writes an equation at each electrical node, requiring
that the branch currents incident at a node must sum to zero. The branch currents are
written in terms of the circuit node voltages.

c. Supermesh or Supermesh Analysis is a better technique instead of using Mesh

analysis to analysis such a complex electric circuit or network, where two meshes have
a current source as a common element. This is the same where we use Supernode
circuit analysis instead of Node or Nodal circuit analysis to simplify such a network
where the assign supernode, fully enclosing the voltage source inside the supernode
and reducing the number of none reference nodes by one for each voltage source.

d. Supernode is a theoretical construct that can be used to solve a circuit. This is done
by viewing a voltage source on a wire as a point source voltage in relation to other point
voltages located at various nodes in the circuit, relative to a ground node assigned a
zero or negative charge. Each supernode contains two nodes, one non-reference node
and another node that may be a second non-reference node or the reference node.
Supernodes containing the reference node have one node voltage variable. For nodal
analysis, the supernode construct is only required between two non-reference nodes.

e. Branch current analysis is a method used for calculating current in each branch. The
branch current analysis uses the combination of Kirchoff's current and voltage law to
obtain a set of linear equations. These linear equations are then solved to achieve the
value of current flowing in branches.
