network, then write equations describing their
relationships to each other through Kirchhoff ’s and
Ohm’s Laws.
Once we have one equation for every unknown
current, we can solve the simultaneous equations and
determine all currents, and therefore all voltage drops
in the network.

The first step is to choose a node
(junction of wires) in the circuit to use as a point of
reference for our unknown currents
The next step is to label all voltage drop polarities
across resistors according to the assumed
directions of the currents.
