Reading Time: 19 minutesIntroduction Kirchhoff’s second law deals with the conservation of energy around a closed loop series path. We call this law Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law, or KVL, for short. What’s a Closed Loop Series Path? A closed loop series path is where there is a direct path through circuit elements from one point of the circuit around […]
Reading Time: 10 minutesIntroduction Kirchhoff’s first law deals with the conservation of charge entering and leaving a junction. We call this law Kirchhoff’s Current Law, or KCL, for short. What’s a Junction? A junction is where conductors in a circuit meet, then branch off in different directions within the circuit — kind of like an intersection in a […]
Reading Time: 9 minutesOhm’s Law is one of the most fundamental principles in electricity and electronics, and it’s what helps us to describe the relationship of the current through a conductor between two points in a circuit and its direct proportionality to the electric potential difference, or voltage across those two points. potential difference: the difference in electric […]
