KIRCHHOFF’S RULES
There are 2 rules, which will be necessary in solving these types of circuits.
Ex)
I 1 = I 2 + I3
7A = 5A + I3
I3 = 2A
2) Loop Rule: Around any closed-circuit look, the sum of the potential
drops equals the sum of potential rises.
Ex)
12 = 10 + 2
Voltage gain across battery = Voltage drop across battery
