TweetWhat does Kirchoff’s Voltage Law state? KVL states that the voltage rises around a loop is equal to the voltage drops. Consider Figure 3. The voltage source supplies 12 V to the two resistors. This is a voltage rise. The resistors, therefore, must drop the voltage 12 V to match the 12 V produced by [...]

TweetWhile analyzing a circuit may seem like a daunting task at first, circuit theory is simply a matter of breaking down larger circuits into smaller, more manageable sections and applying a few fundamental principles to these sections. One of these basics is known as Kirchoff’s Current Law. Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL) KCL states that the [...]
