7 Problem In the circuit shown below, rank in order, from most to least bright, the brightness of bulbs A E. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 7

8 Clicker Question 4: Bulbs A and B in the figure are identical, and both are glowing. Bulb B is removed from its socket. (a) Does the potential difference Delta V 12 between points 1 and 2 increase, stay the same, decrease, or become zero? (a) (b) (c) (d) increase stay the same decrease become zero Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 8

9 Kirchhoff s Junction Law For a junction, the law of conservation of current requires that: where the symbol means summation. This basic conservation statement is called Kirchhoff s junction law. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 9

10 Kirchhoff s Loop Law For any path that starts and ends at the same point: The sum of all the potential differences encountered while moving around a loop or closed path is zero. This statement is known as Kirchhoff s loop law. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 10

11 Steps for Using Kirchhoffs Rules Label all currents Label +/- for all elements Emf (regular +/-) Resistors current goes from + to - Choose a loop and direction (your choice) Wit Write down voltage drops across resistors Loop rule (use first sign you get to) List voltages Write down current equation Junction rule Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 11

12 Loop Rule Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 12

13 Example Solve for the currents in all parts of the circuit. Anytime there is a junction current must split!!! + - I 1 is not necessarily through resistor R R 1 = 10 1!!! + A - Current can only I change at a junction!!! 2 I R 2 = Current in a segment w/o a junction must I I I + remain constant! I 1 2 = 5 V = 10 V B Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 13

14 Three loops Example I 1 = I 2 + I 3 Bottom loop clockwise from A I 2 (R 1 ) = 0 (1) + I R 2 = 10 3 R 1 = 10 Top loop clockwise from A + A - I 3 (R 2 ) - 2 -I 2 (R 1 )= 0 (2) I 2-2 = 5 V + - B Outside loop clockwise from A I 1 I (R ) - = 0 (3) + I 3 (R 2 ) - 1 = 0 (3) - 1 = 10 V Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 14

15 I 2 (R 1 ) = 0 (1) I 3 (R 2 ) - 2 -I 2 (R 1 )= 0 (2) Example I 3 = 1 A I 2 =.5 A 2 I 1 = 1 A +.5 A = 1.5 A I 3 (R 2 ) - 1 = 0 (3) I R 2 = I = I + I (4) - A R 1 = I 2 2 = 5 V + - B I = 10 V Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 15
