Current Source in Two Meshes (Supermeshes)
Problem #1
Use mesh current analysis to find the power associated with each voltage source.
Need a hint?
Define two meshes that point into the current source. Write just one KVL, avoiding the current source when travelling around the circuit. Relate I1 and i2 using the current source. Solve for I1 and I2, and then find the power of each voltage source.
