OHM’s LAW
Material that opposes current flow is called resistance and is
measured in Ohms [Ω
[Ω]. An electronic device that is purely resistive is called a
resistor. A resistor is a passive element. Most popular and least expensive
resistors are normally carbon composition.
Ohm’s law states that the voltage across a resistance is directly proportional to
the current flowing through it.

NODES, LOOPS, BRANCHES
A node is a point of connection of two or more circuit elements.
A loop is any closed path through the circuit in which a particular
node is not encountered more than once.
A branch is a portion of a circuit containing only at least one
element and the nodes at each end of that element.

KIRCHHOFF’s CURRENT LAW - KCL
The algebraic sum of the currents entering and leaving any node is zero

The algebraic sum of the voltages around any loop is zero.

laws in electrical engineering - “energy cannot be created nor destroyed”
