Objectives:
•
examining basic series and parallel DC circuits with resistors. Key elements are
Kirchhoff’s
Voltage
Law (that the sum of voltage rises around a loop must equal the sum of the voltage drops) and
Kirchhoff’s Current Law (that the sum of currents entering a node must equal the sum of the
currents exiting that node). The voltage divider rule will also be investigated.
