Kirchoff's Laws for Voltage and Current
KVL (Kirchoff's Voltage Law ) states that the sum of the ______________ = the sum of the __________________________
KCL (Kirchoff's Current Law ) states that the sum of the ______________ = the sum of the __________________________
- What is the total resistance in the circuit?
- What is the total voltage in the circuit?
- What % of the voltage drops across R3?
- What % of the voltage drops across R1 and R2?
- What should the voltage drop be across each resistor?
- Calculate the total current in the circuit using I = V/R
- How many different paths are there through the circuit?
- Which path has the most resistance (so it will have the least current)?
- Calculate the current in each loop using I=V/R
- Calculate the current at each node that is not labeled.
