1.5 Kirchhoff and network analysis

I declare: solidlikelyshaky

1. State Kirchhoff’s two laws and apply them to a two-loop circuit.
2. Solve a network by loops or nodes, and verify the result with the multimeter on the circuit.
3. Replace a real source by its Thévenin equivalent, and use it to predict the voltage under load.
4. Say when superposition applies and when it doesn’t (a circuit with a diode).
5. Go from a Thévenin equivalent to a Norton equivalent and say when each simplifies the calculation.
6. Diagnosis: a measured voltage that doesn’t match the calculation, find the contact resistance or the forgotten ground path.
