A network contains B branches and N Nodes. The number of mesh current equations would be
- A. N - (B - 1)
- B. B - N - 1
- C. (B + N) - 1
- D. B - (N - 1)
Answer: D. B - (N - 1)
Explanation: In network graph theory, the number of fundamental loops (independent mesh current equations) is given by L = B − N + 1 = B − (N − 1).
