THE ANSWER: Kirchhoff’s Rules
Electricity & Magnetism Lecture 10, Slide 2
Based on two concepts
 V = 0
i
Kirchhoff's Voltage Rule states that the sum of the voltage
changes caused by any elements (like wires, batteries, and
resistors) around a circuit must be zero.
I
in
=  I out
Kirchhoff's Current Rule states that the sum of all currents
entering any given point in a circuit must equal the sum of all
currents leaving the same point.

Method #2
“current” in every loop
2 equations,
2 unknowns
Electricity & Magnetism Lecture 10, Slide 4
We will use second method
1) Choose loops and direction
Place “current” in each one
2) Write down voltage drops and
gains
3) Across a battery: – to + is a
voltage gain, + to – is a drop
4) Across a resistor: with the
current is a voltage drop,
against the current voltage

If every electron that goes
through one element must go
through another, those two are
in series.
If two sides of two elements can
be connected by different
colored lines, those two are in
parallel. .
If two points are connected by a line not
containing any circuit elements those point are at
the same potential.
