1. Simultaneous Equations Can use matrix maths to solve linear simultaneous equations Arise from: –Electric Circuits Kirchoff’s laws –Fluid Dynamics

2. Systems of equations #1 Kirchoff’s Laws R0R0 R2R2 R1R1 ε0ε0 ε1ε1

3. Kirchoff’s Laws Kirchoff’s Node Law –The sum of currents at a node is equal to zero –Current does not build up at a node Kirchoff’s Loop Law –The sum of potentials around a loop is equal to zero

4. Kirchoff’s Laws Apply to circuit #1 R0R0 R2R2 R1R1 ε0ε0 ε1ε1 Loop1Loop2 I0 I1 I2

5. Kirchoff’s Laws Apply to circuit #2 Node Law –I0-I2-I1 = 0 Loop1 –I0R0-  0+I2R2=0 Loop2 –-I2R2-  1+I1R1=0

6. Kirchoff’s Laws Apply to circuit #3 Get rid of I2 & rewrite Loop 1 Loop 2
