The value ofthe current in any branch is then obtained by simply takingthe difference of these variables belonging to the adjacentmeshes, of which the conductor or bjanch considered is thecommon boundary. § 3. Let us now consider the most general case possible, inwhich we have a network composed of linear conductors suf-ficiently far apart to have no sensible mutual induction, andlet there be electromotive forces acting in each branch or r.
