Kirchhoff’s Current Law
This lesson focuses on Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL), which states that the net current at any circuit node is zero. It outlines how to set up KCL problems, including conventions for current direction. The post also discusses the relationship between currents at nodes and introduces upcoming content that will integrate KCL with Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law…

DC Circuits – Basics
Introduction This will be a basic introduction to direct current (DC) circuits. This post will supplement other posts on the site where we discuss basic circuitry. This is not meant to be a comprehensive look at DC circuits, just an overview in case you are unfamiliar. See where these topics will be used:Solar Installation Series…
