complete the problemoutside of class and upload it to Canvas.In Spring 2024 semester, the students were asked to create a circuit and find the transfer functionrelating the input to the output in either the frequency domain or the s-domain. One of therequirements was that the circuit should contain a dependent voltage or current source and thatthey should use mesh current analysis to find the transfer function.Previously, the students had learned how to apply mesh current analysis to a circuit to findcurrents and voltages within a circuit. They also learned how to find the transfer functions ofcircuits using source transformations and current and voltage division. This assignment whichwas also for bonus points combined the two topics.The Results
