Circuit Analysis using Series/Parallel Equivalents
1. Begin by locating a combination of resistances that are in series or parallel. Often the place to start is farthest from the source.
2. Redraw the circuit with the equivalent resistance for the combination found in step 1.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the circuit is reduced as far as possible. Often (but not always) we end up with a single source and a single resistance.
4. Solve for the currents and voltages in the final equivalent circuit.

Choosing the Mesh Currents
When several mesh currents flow through one element, we consider the current in that element to be the algebraic sum of the mesh currents.
Sometimes it is said that the mesh currents are defined by “soaping the window panes.”

Mesh-Current Analysis
1. If necessary, redraw the network without crossing conductors or elements. Then define the mesh currents flowing around each of the open areas defined by the network. For consistency, we usually select a clockwise direction for each of the mesh currents, but this is not a requirement.

2. Write network equations, stopping after the number of equations is equal to the number of mesh currents. First, use KVL to write voltage equations for meshes that do not contain current sources. Next, if any current sources are present, write expressions for their currents in terms of the mesh currents. Finally, if a current source is common to two meshes, write a KVL equation for the supermesh.

Finding the Thévenin Resistance Directly
When zeroing a voltage source, it becomes an open circuit. When zeroing a current source, it becomes a short circuit.
We can find the Thévenin resistance by zeroing the sources in the original network and then computing the resistance between the terminals.
