1.In both circuits of this exercise the negative
terminals of the sources are connected to ground.
Is this a requirement for mesh analysis? What
would happen to the mesh currents if the
positions of El and R1 in Figure (15) were
swapped?
2.The circuits of Figures (15) and (16) had been
analyzed previously in the Superposition
Theorem exercise. How do the results of this
exercise compare to the earlier results? Should
the resulting currents and voltages be identical?
If not, what sort of things might affect the
outcome?
