Question

The current in a closed path in a loop is called?

(a) loop current

(b) branch current

(c) link current

(d) twig current

The question was posed to me in an international level competition.

My question is from Link Currents: Tie-Set Matrix topic in division Methods of Analyzing Circuits of Network Theory

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) link current

For explanation I would say: In a loop there exists a closed path and a circulating current which is called link current. The current in any branch can be found by using link currents.
