Ohms Vs. Kirchhoff

Ohms Law.

Today we learned that Current is directly proportionate to Potential Difference (Voltage),
while Current is inversely Proportionate to Resistance

^current ^ Voltage
^current , the lower resistance is.

Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the total amount of current into a junction point of a circuit equals the total current that flows out of that same junction.



Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that all electrical potential decreases in any complete circuit loop is equal to any potential increases in that circuit loop



Theses two laws are, in essence, summarizing the conservation of electric charge and conservation of energy, where there is no net gain or loss of electric charge/energy
