Not so Simple Circuits
Circuit Analysis
- identify circuit nodes
- nodes are equipotential points in circuit
- define branch currents, I1, I2, I3, …. In,….
- I3=dQ3/dt, for capacitors
Kirchoff’s Laws are common sense:
- Kirchoff’s Voltage Law
- sum of all voltage drops around a closed loop = 0
- Kirchoff’s Current Law
- sum of current into node equals current out of node
