Question
**Transcription for Educational Content:**

**Given:**  
- \( V_S = 4 \, \text{V} \)  
- \( I_S = 1 \, \text{A} \)  

**Objective:** Use mesh analysis to compute the current \( I_0 \) (in Amps).

**Circuit Diagram Description:**

1. **Components:**
   - **Voltage Source (\( V_S \)):** Positioned on the left side, connected in series with a 4 Ω resistor.
   - **Current Source (\( I_S \)):** Positioned on the right side with a downward flow.
   - **Resistors:**
     - 12 Ω resistor, connected horizontally on the top left.
     - 6 Ω resistor, connected horizontally on the top right.
     - 4 Ω resistor, connected vertically in the middle.
     
2. **Current Paths:**
   - A 2A current source flows upward in the top loop.
   - The middle loop contains the 4 Ω resistor where \( I_0 \) is measured.
   
3. **Mesh Analysis:**
   - Utilize mesh equations to solve for \( I_0 \) by analyzing each loop.
   - Apply Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to write loop equations.
   - Solve the system of equations to find the unknown current \( I_0 \).

**Note:** 
Each loop and component should be analyzed according to the rules of mesh analysis, considering the given values of \( V_S \) and \( I_S \).

This analysis helps in understanding how complex circuits can be simplified and analyzed using fundamental electrical principles.
