Review of KCL and KVL

The voltages of a circuit can be measured without disturbing (breaking the connections in) the
circuit.
using an ammeter to measure the current of a circuit requires that the circuit be broken at some
point and the meter inserted in series with the branch in which the current is to be determined.
 Power Dissipated by resistive element (e.g by R1):
Power Delivered by Voltage Source
Determine the power dissipated by each resistor.
Solution:

Power Dissipated by Resistive elements:

Power Delivered by source = Power dissipated by resistive elements
