    Study Notes

    Kirchhoff's Laws

    • Kirchhoff's voltage law states that the algebraic sum of voltages in any closed loop is zero.
    • The law can be applied to solve for unknown voltages in a circuit, such as in Loop 1: 10 - V2 = 0, which yields V2 = 10V.
    • The law can also be applied to solve for unknown voltages in multiple loops, such as in Loop 2: -10 + 6 + V1 = 0, which yields V1 = 4V.

    Kirchhoff's Current Law

    • Kirchhoff's current law states that the algebraic sum of currents meeting at a point (junction) is zero.
    • The law can be represented mathematically as: ∑I = 0.
    • The law can be applied to solve for unknown currents in a circuit, such as I1 + I3 - I2 - I4 - I5 = 0.

    Application of Kirchhoff's Laws

    • Example: Using Kirchhoff's current law to find I5 in a circuit with multiple loops.
    • Loop 1: I1 = I2 + I3, which represents the current flowing into a node.
    • Loop 2: 10I2 + I3 = 0, which represents the current flowing out of a node.
    • The equations can be solved simultaneously to find the unknown currents, such as I1 = 4 - 2I2 and I2 = I3.
    • Substituting the equations into each other yields the final solution for I5.
