Mesh analysis LaTeX circuitikz

Question

So I am trying to create a very simple circuit. Here is my code:

\documentclass[border=10pt,multi,tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{circuitikz,siunitx}% cfr: these seem necessary but what else?
\standaloneenv{circuitikz}
\begin{document}
\ctikzset{bipoles/resistor/height=0.15}
\ctikzset{bipoles/resistor/width=0.4}
\begin{circuitikz}
  \draw (0,0)
  to[I,i=$1 \mA$,] (0,5) % The voltage source
  to[short] (0,5)
  to[short] (4,5) % The resistor
  to[R=$ 1\kilo\ohm$,] (4,0) % The resistor
  to[short] (0,0);
  \draw (4,5)
  to[R=$1\kilo\ohm$] (8,5) % The resistor
  %to[short] (8,5)
  to[R=$10 \kilo\ohm$] (8,0) % The voltage source
  to[short] (0,0);
  \draw (8,5)
  to[R=$1 \kilo\ohm$] (14,5) % The voltage source
  to[R=$1 \kilo\ohm $]  (14,3)
  to[cV=$A V_{in} $]  (14,0)
  to[short] (0,0);
  \draw (10,5)
  to[short] (16,5) node[anchor=west]{A}
  to [open,o-o] (16,0)node[anchor=west]{B}
  to[short] (0,0);
  \draw [red,latex-] (2,2) node[above,color=red]{$i_2$} arc(-90:145:5mm)
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}

All that I would like to do is be able to write i_1, i_2,i_3 inside the drawn thin circle to denote current flowing throughout enouch mesh.

When I try to put a circle arrow, I get an error.

Answer 1

I spent a lot of time getting your code to compile, so perhaps the fact that I don't understand the question now I've compiled it is only to be expected. I don't know how a circle can be 'thin'. I thought you might mean an ellipse, but there doesn't seem to be one.

So maybe you want to add i_1 and i_3 to the circle containing i_2. I wondered if you wanted additional circles, but that wouldn't make sense. If you know how to make one, you could obviously make another two. So I can only think the problem is to add additional labels on the same circle.

Something like this:

\documentclass[border=10pt,multi,tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage[siunitx,european]{circuitikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}
\standaloneenv{circuitikz}
\begin{document}
\ctikzset{bipoles/resistor/height=0.15}
\ctikzset{bipoles/resistor/width=0.4}
\begin{circuitikz}[european currents]
  \draw (0,0)
  to [I, i=1<\milli\ampere>] (0,5) % The voltage source
  to [short] (0,5)
  to [short] (4,5) % The resistor
  to [R=1<\kilo\ohm>] (4,0) % The resistor
  to [short] (0,0)
  (4,5)
  to [R=1<\kilo\ohm>] (8,5) % The resistor
  to [R=10<\kilo\ohm>] (8,0) % The voltage source
  to [short] (0,0)
  (8,5)
  to [R=1<\kilo\ohm>] (14,5) % The voltage source
  to [R=1<\kilo\ohm>]  (14,3)
  to [cV=$A V_{in} $]  (14,0)
  to [ short] (0,0)
  (14,5)
  to [short] (16,5) node [anchor=west] {A}
  to [open, o-o] (16,0) node [anchor=west] {B}
  to [short] (0,0);
  \draw [red, Latex-] (2,2) node [above] {$i_3$} arc (-90:145:5mm) node [midway, left] {$i_2$} node [near end, below left] {$i_1$};
\end{circuitikz}
\end{document}
