Entering resistive material, charges are decelerated, which decrease current flow.

4. Types of resistors (1), (2), and (3) are high power resistors.
(4) and (5) are high-wattage fixed resistors.
(6) is a high precision resistor.
(7)–(12) are fixed resistors with different power ratings.

6. Example 2.1
Determine the current and the power absorbed by the resistor.

7. Glossary
(1) Node
A node is simply a point of connection of two or more circuit elements.
node
Although one node can be spread out with perfect conductors, it is still only one node

8. (2) loop
A loop is simply any closed path through the circuit in which no node
is encountered more than once
(3) branch
 a branch is a single or group of components such as resistors or a source which are connected between two nodes

9. 2. Kirchhoff’s law (1) Kirchhoff ’s current law (KCL) :
the algebraic sum of the currents entering(out-going) any node is zero
→ the sum of incoming currents is equal to the sum of outgoing currents.
(2) Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL),
the algebraic sum of the voltages around any loop is zero

10. Kirchhoff’s Current law
Current definition
The direction of a current can be chosen arbitrarily.
The value of a current can be obtained from a voltage drop along the direction of current divided by a resistance met. R

11. Kirchhoff’s Voltage law
Sum of voltage drops along a closed loop should be equal to zero! R1 C1
Voltage convention
