please answer it clearly and in paper From the circuit below, list the (a) branches, (b) essential branches, (c) nodes, (d) essential nodes, and (e) meshes. Solution (a) Total resistor branches =8 Total independent souces branches =2 Total dependent source branches=1 so total branches in the circuit is, 8+2+1=11 B) if we consider R4 and R5 as a one branch and R8&10V as a one branch then the essential branches are 9 C 6 d 5 e 6.
