Solving Problems with Kirchhoff's Laws

  • Kirchhoff’s laws can be used to solve simple circuit problems

Worked example

For the circuit below, state the readings of ammeters A1, A2  and A3.WE - Kirchoff's first law question image, downloadable AS & A Level Physics revision notes

Worked example

Kirchhoff’s Second Law Worked Example

For the circuit below, state the readings of the voltmeters V1, V2  and V3.

All the lamps and resistors have the same resistance.
