Which way does the current flow, left or right?
Two seemingly Simple questions:
Voltage has a ‘+’ side and a ‘-’ side (you can see it on a battery) on which side should we put the ‘+’? On the left or the right?
Given V=IR, does it matter which sides for V or which direction for I?
Kirchoff’s Laws I Kirchoff’s current law: Sum of all currents at a node is zero
I1
I3
I2
I4
I1+I2–I3–I4=0
0In
(conservation of charge)
Here is a cute trick: It does not matter whether you pick “entering” or “leaving” currents as positive. BUT keep the same convention for all currents on one node!
II Kirchoff’s voltage law: Around a closed loop the net change of potential is zero (Conservation of Energy)

Circuits have Consequences
• Problem:
– My old speakers are 60W
speakers.
– Special 2-4-1 deal at El-
Cheap-0 Acoustics on 120W
speakers!!
• (“Offer not seen on TV!”)
– Do I buy them?
• Depends! 4W, 8W, or 16W
speakers?
• Why does this matter?
