 Objectives

1. ✓ To proof the Kirchoff Voltage Law

2. ✓ To proof the Kirchoff Current Law
3. ✓ To apply potentiometer in a circuit
 Kirchoff Law

• Kirchoff Current Law (KCL)

• Kirchoff Voltage Law (KVL)
 KCL

∑ 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑘=∑ 𝐼 𝑘𝑒𝑙𝑢𝑎𝑟

I1 + I3 = I2 + I4 + I5

 KVL

ΣV = 0
V1 + V2 + V... – Vsupply = 0

-VS1 + V1 + V2 + V3  = 0
