Concept:

True: All meshes in a circuit are loops, but not all loops are meshes. A mesh is a specific type of loop that does not contain any other loops within it. In a circuit, you can have multiple loops, but only some of them will be meshes. - Statement I

False: Kirchhoff's laws can be applied to both linear and nonlinear circuits. Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) are fundamental principles in circuit analysis that are applicable to a wide range of circuits, including linear and nonlinear ones. While KCL and KVL are most commonly used for linear circuits, they can also be applied to nonlinear circuits, although the analysis may become more complex in the case of nonlinear elements. - Statement II
