Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
3) For the circuit below, find the power dissipated in the \(2 \, \Omega\) resistor using mesh analysis:
**Circuit Description:**
The circuit consists of the following components arranged in a closed loop:
- A voltage source of \(30 \, \text{V}\) connected in series with a \(6 \, \Omega\) resistor on the left side.
- Moving clockwise, a \(3 \, \Omega\) resistor follows the \(30 \, \text{V}\) voltage source.
- Adjacent to the \(3 \, \Omega\) resistor, there is a \(2 \, \Omega\) resistor connected horizontally.
- Parallel to the \(2 \, \Omega\) resistor is an \(8 \, \Omega\) resistor continuing around the loop.
- Below the \(8 \, \Omega\) resistor is a \(4 \, \Omega\) resistor connected horizontally parallel to the \(6 \, \Omega\) resistor.
- A \(5 \, \Omega\) resistor is connected vertically between the parallel branches of the \(2 \, \Omega\) and \(4 \, \Omega\) resistors.
- On the right side of the circuit, a \(16 \, \text{A}\) current source completes the loop, placed parallel to the \(5 \, \Omega\) resistor.
**Objective:**
Apply mesh analysis to determine the power dissipated in the \(2 \, \Omega\) resistor.
