Kirchoffs's current law states that the sum of all the currents flowing out of any point is equal to zero. In other words, the current flowing in is equal to the current flowing out.

In the case of a parallel circuit, this means that if a single current branches into two or more parallel branches, then the sum of the currents in the parallel branches must be equal to the original current before it branched.

Formula for inductance of series circuits?

AnswerInductances add in series, so the formula is simply L=L1+L2. Inductance is handled in the same manner as resistance in serial and parallel circuits.


How do I calculate wattage?

To calculate wattage, you need to multiply the voltage (V) by the current (I). The formula is: Wattage (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (I). This formula applies to electrical circuits where the voltage is known and the current is flowing.

What is the equivalent resistance through the enire circuit of 90 volts?

Not enough information. In the case of simple circuits, usually you would add resistances that are in series, and use a slightly more complicated formula for resistance that are in parallel. You CANNOT determine an equivalent resistance known only the voltage. However, if you know the total current, you can divide the voltage by the total current to get the equivalent resistance.

What are some common Ohm's Law problems encountered in electrical circuits, and what are the solutions to these problems?

Common Ohm's Law problems encountered in electrical circuits include calculating voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit. Solutions to these problems involve using the formula V IR (voltage equals current multiplied by resistance) to find the unknown quantity by rearranging the formula as needed. Additionally, understanding the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is crucial in solving Ohm's Law problems effectively.

What is the difference between parallel and series circuits?

A series circuit is one in which the current must pass through all the electrical devices in the circuit in turn. A parallel circuit is one in which the current passes through each electrical device on the circuit following separate, independent path from all other devices on the circuit, one for each electrical device.

What is a complex circuits?

A 'complex circuit' is a category of electric circuit that encompasses any circuit that is not just a series circuit, a parallel circuit, or a series-parallel circuit. An example of a complex circuit is a bridge circuit.As you can see, such circuits are not necessarily complicated themselves; its just that they cannot be analyzed using only ohm's law and the power formula, but instead require more complicated methods like Theveninization, Kirchhoff's laws, etc. to be analyzed correctly.
