I am a little bit confused which method is easy to adopt to become expert in solving any type of circuit. First, I used Nodal Analysis then came to Mesh/Loop Analysis but finding currents after nodal voltages have been calculated is a bit more complex for me than calculating voltages after currents have been found using mesh analysis. I know both methods have their pros. & cons. like mesh analysis is difficult to apply if there is some non-planer circuits as compare to nodal analysis. But I myself worked hard in mesh analysis than nodal so that there could be a method in which I would get expertise. So first please suggest me, is my approach OK??.
I was solving circuits using linearity property from the "fundamentals of Electrical circuits" by Charles Alexander 4th ed. the questions given in practice exercises looked piece of cake but the circuits in exercises got more complex so I got a solution manual and the author of solution manual used some shortcuts or whatever but I didn't get him. Please have a look on these pictures here, how he is using things to get answers and what he is assuming like in book mentioned that we assume some value and make calculations accordingly and then get our answers straight later. If anyone can explain the steps I'd be much Obliged.
Is it a good approach to be carried on even for more complex circuits. ??
