Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's Rules
Ohm's Law:
The resistance R of a device can be determined by either directly measuring the resistance using an
ohmmeter, or by measuring the current I through it and the voltage V across it, and then calculating R using
Ohm's Law

If the voltage across a resistor is 10V, and the current passing through it is 2.5 mA. What is the resistance
of the resistor?
R=
Ω.
Kirchhoff's Loop Rule:
Around any closed circuit loop, the sum of the potential drops equals the sum of the potential rises.
Two resistors are connected in series with a 10V battery as shown in
Figure 1. If the voltage drop across R1 is V = 3.5 V, what should be
the potential drop V2 across R2?

Kirchhoff's Junction Rule:
The sum of all currents entering any junction in a circuit is equal to the sum of the currents leaving that
junction.
