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: 13 minutesCircuit Element A circuit element refers to a basic component that is used to construct electrical circuits. The element can be a physical device or an abstract concept that exhibits specific electrical behavior and are combined together to form more complex circuits. These elements can include resistors, capacitors, inductors, and various other components that contribute […]
