What will be the number of tie set currents in the given circuit? Correct Answer 3

Concept:

Tie set matrix:

  • It gives the relation between tie-set currents and branch currents.
  • The rows of a matrix represent the tie-set currents.
  • The columns of a matrix represent branches of the graph.
  • The order of the tie set matrix is (B – N + 1) × b
  • The rank of a tie-set matrix is (B – N + 1)

 

Application:

The above figure consists of 4 Nodes and 6 Branches

B = 6, N = 4

The rows of a matrix represent the tie-set currents = (B - N + 1)

= 6 - 4 + 1

= 3

Assertion (A): All the mesh currents are necessarily the loop currents but all the loop currents may not be the mesh current. Reason (R): The mesh current is the current which flows only around the perimeter of a mesh.
