PRACTICE QUESTIONS:KIRCHHOFF'S LAWS

Here are some practice questions on

Kirchhoff's Laws:

1. In a circuit, there are three resistors

connected in series:
A battery with an emf of is
connected across the circuit. Calculate the
total current flowing through the circuit and
the voltage drop across each resistor.

2. In a circuit, there are two loops and a

battery with an emf of . The resistances
in the loops are .
Calculate the currents in each loop.

3. A circuit consists of a battery with an emf of

9 V a resistor , and two parallel
branches. One branch contains a
resistor , and the other contains
a resistor . Calculate the current in
