Theory

Ohm's Law

V = I R 

Eqn. 1
  • V = Voltage 
  • I = Current
  • R = Resistance

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

V = I R 

Eqn. 1
  • V = Voltage 
  • I = Current
  • R = Resistance

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
