Laws

Ohm's Law: voltage across a resistor is proportional to the current through it.
  • Voltage = current multiplied by resistance. V = iR
Kirchhoff's Current Law(KCL): the sum of currents entering a node is zero.

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law(KVL): the sum of voltages around a loop is zero.

  • Branch: any single element (example: resistor, voltage source, etc...).
  • Node: point of connection between two or more branches.
  • Loop: closed path in a circuit.
