LEARNING EXTENSION: Dependent Sources
We treat the dependent source as one more voltage source
and solve...
The selection of loop currents
simplifies expression for Vx
and computation of Vo.

NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MESH
CURRENT I1 AND LOOP CURRENT I1 EVEN
THOUGH THEY ARE ASSOCIATED TO THE
SAME PATH
