Georg Simon Ohm (1787–1854), a German physicist, in
1826 experimentally determined the most basic law
relating voltage and current for a resistor.
Born of humble beginnings in Erlangen, Bavaria, Ohm
threw himself into electrical research. His efforts resulted
in his famous law.
Gustav Robert Kirchhoff (1824–1887), a German
physicist, stated two basic laws in 1847 concerning the
relationship between the currents and voltages in an
electrical network. Kirchhoff’s laws, along with Ohm’s
law, form the basis of circuit theory.

Ohm’s Law
Resistor
It is the algebraic relationship between
voltage and current for a resistor
v=iR
where
R is the resistance in ,
i is the current in A,
v is the voltage in V, with
reference directions as pictured.
If R is given, once you know i, it is easy to
find v and vice-versa.
Since R is never negative, a resistor
always absorbs power…

Resistors and Ohm’s Law
• Working with very primitive instruments that Ohm
designed and constructed by himself. Ohm
discovered that voltage and current were linearly
related in wires.
I =V R
I
• That means that if you measure voltage across a
wire and plot that against the current through the
wire you get a straight line in the plot.
• Working with very imprecise measurements, Ohm
was able to determine that voltage and current for
any fixed geometrical structure built from conducting
material satisfied a relationship:

Ohm’s law states that the voltage v across a resistor is directly
proportional to the current i flowing through the resistor.
• V is the voltage across the device, I is the current flowing through
the device, R is a constant.
• R depends upon the material from which the device is constructed
and the geometry of the material.
• Any resistor has a current- voltage
relationship called Ohm’s law:

i is the current in A,
V is the voltage in V, (with reference 5directions as pictured).
• If R is given, once you know i, it is easy to find v and vice-versa.
• Since R is never negative, a resistor always absorbs power.

The resistance R of an element denotes its ability to resist the flow
of electric current; it is measured in ohms ( ).

= 1V/A
Since the value of R can range from zero to infinity, it is important that we
consider the two extreme possible values of R. An element with R = 0 is called a
short circuit,
v = iR = 0
A short circuit is a circuit element
with resistance approaching zero.

• A resistor that obeys Ohm’s law is known as a
linear resistor.
•It has a constant resistance and thus its
current-voltage characteristic is as shown in
figure.
• i-v graph is a straight line passing through
the origin.

Branches, Nodes, and Loops
Branch
A branch represents a single element such as a voltage source or a resistor.
The circuit has five branches, namely, the 10-V voltage source, the 2-A
current source, and the three resistors.

Nodes
A node is the point of connection between two or more branches.
•A node is usually indicated by a dot in a circuit.
• The circuit has three nodes a, b, and c.

A loop is any closed path in a circuit.
For example
•The closed path abca containing the 2- resistor is a loop.
•Another loop is the closed path bcb containing the 2- resistor and the current

Series and Parallel
Two or more elements are in series if they are cascaded or connected sequentially
and consequently carry the same current.
Two or more elements are in parallel if they are connected to the same two nodes
and consequently have the same voltage across them.

Consider resistors in series. This means they are attached end-to-end,
with nothing coming off in between.
Each resistor has the same current (labeled i).
Each resistor has voltage iR, given by Ohm’s law.

When we look at all three resistors together as one unit, we see that they
have the same I-V relationship as one resistor, whose value is the sum of
the resistances:
•So we can treat these resistors as just one
equivalent resistance, as long as we are not
interested in the individual voltages.
•Their effect on the rest of the circuit is the
same, whether lumped together or not.

the same voltage.
We say these elements are in parallel.

If we view the three resistors as one unit, with a current iTOTAL going in, and a
voltage VR, this unit has the following I-V relationship:
iTOTAL = i1 + i2 + i3 = VR(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3)
in other words,
VR = (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3)-1 iTOTAl

Kirchhoff’s Laws
• Kirchhoff’s laws were first introduced in 1847 by the German physicist Gustav Robert
Kirchhoff (1824–1887).
• These laws are formally known as
Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL)
Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL).
The I -V relationship for a device tells us how current and voltage are related within
that device.
Kirchhoff’s laws tell us how voltages relate to other voltages in a circuit, and how
currents relate to other currents in a circuit.
KVL: The sum of voltage drops around a closed path must equal zero.
KCL: The sum of currents leaving a node must equal zero.
Dr.-Eng. Hisham El-Sherif

Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of currents
entering a node (or a closed boundary) is zero.
Mathematically, KCL implies that
where
N is the number of branches connected to the node.
in is the nth current entering (or leaving) the node.
By this law, currents entering a node may be regarded as positive, while
currents leaving the node may be taken as negative or vice versa.
27
Dr.-Eng. Hisham El-Sherif
Electronics and Electrical Engineering Department
ELCT708: Electronics for Biotechnology
27
To Prove KCL,
assume a set of currents ik(t ), k = 1, 2, . . . , flow into a node.
The algebraic sum of currents at the node is
iT (t) = i1(t) + i2(t) + i3(t)+· · ·
Integrating both sides gives
qT (t) = q1(t) + q2(t) + q3(t)+· · ·
Where
qk(t) = ik(t) dt
qT (t) = iT (t) dt .
But the law of conservation of electric charge requires that the algebraic sum of
electric charges at the node must not change; that is, the node stores no net charge.
Thus
qT (t) = 0
iT (t) = 0, confirming the validity of KCL.

Example
Apply Kirchhoff'
s law
i1 + (−i2) + i3 + i4 + (−i5) = 0
since currents i1, i3, and i4 are entering the node,
while currents i2 and i5 are leaving it.
By rearranging the terms, we get
i1 + i3 + i4 = i2 + i5
The sum of the currents entering a node is equal to the sum
of the currents leaving the node.

Suppose we start with the voltage source and
go clockwise around the loop.
