1. Why must both switches of the circuit be closed when adjusting the terminal voltage on the power supply?
2. Whenever you are calculating the currents in a circuit using kirchhoff's rules, if you should calculate a negative value for a current, what does that mean?
1. Why must both switches of the circuit be closed when adjusting the terminal voltage on the power supply?
Both the switches must be switchwed off because the fluctuation in voltage might destroy the components attached to it, can lead to sudden increase in the current which might damage the wires, resistors, and can even lead to fire.
2. Whenever you are calculating the currents in a circuit using kirchhoff's rules, if you should calculate a negative value for a current, what does that mean?
If you have to calculate or calculated a negative value of current, this means the current flows in the opposite direction form the direction you have assumed or given previously in the question. Ex- If in a circuit you assume the current flows clockwise and after calculations the value of current comes to be negative. This you had assumed the wrong direction of current in that circuit, the current will be in just opposite direction.

126 S. Consider the large circuit shown in Figure 3, where the components have the following values: We will use Kirchhoff's rules to calculate the current passing through each of the nineteen circuit components. ineteen components in this circuit, there are only twelve through two components that are in series.

Question 1 (15 Marks): The electrical circuit shown consists of resistors and voltage sources. We can determine the current in each resistor, using the mesh current method based on Kirchhoffs voltage law. (Kirchhoff's voltage law states that the sum of the voltage around a closed circuit is zero) 2 Σ vsource-IR = 0 i3 IH - Note: if two currents passes through one resistor we should use difference or summation between them based on direction of the currents i.e ii-j^,....

Do both questions please. Thanks. Which of the following statements about Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) below are true? ■ The sum of currents going into the node equals the sum of the currents leaving the node Currents going into the node are always assumed to have a positive sign ■ KCL is derived from conservation of electric charge (ie charge cannot build up at a node) KCL cannot be applied to a node connected to a voltage controlled current source...
