3. Example Simple circuit A student built circuit as shown in the figure to power a electric circuit that requires 3V power input. The internal resistance of the circuit is R=50  The student used R 1 =100  and R 2 =300  He found the circuit did not function properly. How would you solve the problem by modifying the circuit R Without R: With R i2i2 i i1i1 For example: R 1 =5  R 2 =15 , V 1 =2.8V

4.  R2R2 Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) The algebraic sum of potential difference in a loop must be zero 1.Draw current direction (arbitrary) and label the voltage direction (determined by the define current direction. 2. Define either clockwise or counterclockwise direction as positive voltage direction. Once the direction is defined, you have to use the same convention in every loop.

7. Last note on KVL & KCL If solutions to currents or voltages are negative, they mean the real directions are opposite to what you have defined!
