ELECTRICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA

Gustav Kirchhoff en.wikipedia.org   Gustav Robert Kirchhoff (12 March 1824 – 17 October 1887) was a German physicist who contributed to the fundamental understanding of electrical circuits, spectroscopy, and the emission of black-body radiation by heated objects. He coined the term "black body" radiation in 1862, and two sets of independent concepts in both circuit theory and thermal emission are named "Kirchhoff's laws" after him, as well as a law of thermochemistry. The Bunsen–Kirchhoff Award for spectroscopy is named after him and his colleague, Robert Bunsen. Kirchhoff's Laws en.wikipedia.org   Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two equalities that deal with the conservation of charge and energy in electrical circuits, and were first described in 1845 by Gustav Kirchhoff. Widely used in electrical engineering, they are also called Kirchhoff's rules or simply Kirchhoff's laws. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law www.facstaff.bucknell.edu   These goals

Discovery of Ohm's Law projects.sd3.k12.nf.ca   Ohm’s law is the mathematical relationship among electric current, resistance and voltage. The principle is named after the German scientist Georg Simon Ohm. Ohm demonstrated that there are no "perfect" electrical conductors through a series of experiments in 1825. Every conductor he tested offered some level of resistance. These experiments led to Ohm’s law. Ohm’s law of 1826 states that if the given temperature remains constant, the current flowing through certain conductors is proportional to the potential difference (voltage) across it. In other words, current equals voltage divided by resistance. How Voltage,Current Resistance relates www.allaboutcircuits.com/   An electric circuit is formed when a conductive path is created to allow free electrons to continuously move. This continuous movement of free electrons through the conductors of a circuit is called a current, and it is often referred to in terms of "f
