Consider the following given figure in which the graph and tree (dotted) are shown: Choose the fundamental loops which include the set of lines.
Consider the following given figure in which the graph and tree (dotted) are shown: Choose the fundamental loops which include the set of lines. Correct Answer (1, 5, 3), (5, 4, 2) and (3, 4, 6)
Twig: The branch of a tree is specifically known as “Twig”, indicated by a thick line segment.
Any tree with ‘n’ nodes has n – 1 twig.
Co tree: The set of branches other than tree branches collectively form a co tree.
Link/chord: The branches of a co tree specifically called as links indicated by dotted.
Any particular co tree of a graph has b – n + 1 links.

Fundamental loop
- The fundamental loop is a closed path of a graph that is formed by only one link and remaining as twigs.
- The number of fundamental loops for any given graph is equal to the number of links. Links = ( b – n + 1)
- Those fundamental loops are also called as “Fundamental circuits”
- The fundamental loop currents are called as “Tie set current” and their orientation is given by link in it.
Example:

fl1 → abe → i1
fl2 → cdb → i2
fl3 → fde → i3
Calculation:
Method 1
Total nodes are 4 and branches are 6
Fundamental loops = links
= 6 – 4 + 1
= 3
Only option 1 satisfies this.
Method 2
From the given graph tree is given by dotted lines
