Electric circuit[edit | edit source]

Electric components are connected in a closed loop to form an electric circuit

Electric circuit's Laws[edit | edit source]

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law The algebraic sum of the voltages around a closed circuit path must be zero.
Kirchhoff's Current Law The sum of the currents entering a particular point must be zero.
Ohm's law The current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional
to the potential difference across the two points.
Watt's law The power through a conductor between two points is directly proportional
to the potential difference and its current across the two points.
