The Junction Law

In an electric circuit, the algebraic sum of the current meeting at

any junction in the circuit is zero
i6 i1
Σi=0
i5
i2

i4
i3
General Method of Circuit Solving

1. Draw the circuit diagram and assign direction of current in each

branch (preferably higher to lower potential)
2. Labeling all quantities while trying to minimize the number of
unknown quantities.
3. Apply junction law
4. Apply loop law (while following a sign convention)
till you get enough number of equations.
Potential gain
VA - VB = +ε
E
High Potential A B Low Potential

Final Initial
Potential drop Potential Potential
5. Solve the equations
Sign Convention

Taking drop in the potential as positive Hence VA- VB will be:

1.

2. A B

3. i
A B

4.
A B
The Loop Law

The algebraic sum of all the potential differences

along a closed loop in a circuit is zero.
