Step 1
Equivalently, the algebraic sum of currents at a node is zero. This expresses the conservation of electric charge: charge cannot accumulate at a point. Show more…

Kirchhoff's Current Law - states that the current entering a point in a circuit is equal to the summation of the currents exiting. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law - states that the summation of all voltage drops in a closed loop must equal to zero which is a result of the electrostatic field being conservative. (Conventional) current flowing through the cell has a positive voltage (gains energy). Current going through a resistor has a negative voltage (loses energy). Find all the currents and voltages across each resistor and cell in the following circuits;
