EXERCISE OBJECTIVE
When you have completed this exercise, you will be able to connect the various circuit blocks on
the circuit board by using the KIRCHHOFF'S CURRENT LAW circuit block as an example.
You will verify your results with a multimeter.
NEW TERMS AND WORDS
Kirchhoff's current law - the algebraic sum of the currents at any node must equal zero.
junction - a circuit point where components are joined.
parallel branch - a circuit loop through which a part of the total circuit current flows.
nodes - circuit points where Kirchhoff's current law can be applied; also called junctions.
junction - a circuit point where components are joined.
algebraic sum - a combination of positive and negative values based on the rules of algebra.
