Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze a circuit with three meshes: one with a 10V source and two resistors (6Ω and 4Ω) and another mesh with a 5Ω and a shared 2Ω resistor with the first mesh. Formulate KVL equations and solve for all mesh currents.

💡 Hint: Use substitution or elimination methods to simplify and solve.

Challenge 2 Hard

For a circuit with two loops where the first contains a 12V source and a 3Ω resistor, and the second contains a 1Ω resistor and is coupled to the first via a shared 2Ω resistor. Establish the equations and solve for the currents.

💡 Hint: Pay attention to the signs when you apply KVL across shared components.
