Ktrekhoffs Current Law
Gustav Robert Kirchhoff /1824-1887/ did much pioneering work in the physics of light & heat, but one of his contributions to electrical engineering is his analysis of current behavior at junction in an electrical network & potential rises & drops around a closed path in an electrical system. Fig.4 represents a junction in a network into which currents I,, I>2 & I>4 are flowing. Each symbol stands Tor a certain number of amperes,& the direction of flow of each current is in the direction of its arrow. That is I, represents flow into junction, & should we write - I for this particular junction it would mean current flow opposite to the arrow direction. Kirchhoff’s current law states that the sum of all electric currents flowing to & from junction is zero. When we write^an equation based on this law, we are obliged to use a minus 6jgn when we deal with a current flowing away from the junction, as represented by the arrow associated with the 1>3 symbol on the diagram. Therefore for this junction we write: I>|+I>2-I>3+I>4-I>5=0

Ohm’s Law & Resistance
1. The free electrons which contribute to the electric current have a low drift velocity in the negative direction of the field within the conductor.
2. In moving through the metal in a common general direction they enter into frequent collisions with the molecules of the metal, & as a consequence they are continually retarded in their forward motion & are not able to attain a velocity greater than axertain terminal velocity U, which depends on the value of the field & the nature of the substance.
3. The collisions which tend to reduce the drift velocity of the electrons act as a retarding force.
