hitt n n A portion of a circuit is shown, with the values of the currents given for some branches. What is the direction and value of the current i? A. ↓, 6 A B. ↑, 6 A C. ↓, 4 A D. ↑, 4 A E. ↓, 2 A

Electrical circuits n n Branches and junctions Kirchhoff's Rules n n All current coming to a junction equals the total current leaving the junction. (charge conservation) Around any closed loop, the total voltage drop vanishes. (work around a closed loop)

Kirchhoff’s rules n n Identify a branch, assign a current. All currents obey the junction rule. Identify a loop, assign a direction: n n n A battery, V from – to + is >0 A resistor R, along the current is V = -IR Each loop gives an equation, solve for the unknowns

Circuits, Junctions n i n n Charge can not be created, nor destroyed Total Current in = Total current out i = 8 A -

Loop calculations n n R 2 and R 3 are parallel. The net is in series

j k n n What is i? All V = 10 Volts and all R = 4 Ohms? What is j? What is k?

j k n What is i? All V = 10 Volts and all R = 4 Ohms

R = 4 Ω, V = 4 V, what is the current through R?

R = 4 Ω, V = 4 V, what is the current through R? 8 = 4 I => I = 2 A

Figure shows five 5. 00 Ω resistors. Find the equivalent resistance between points (a) F and H and (b) F and G. (Hint: For each pair of points, imagine that a battery is connected across the pair. )
