Loop Rule Bread board

 
Using Kirchoff's laws for circuit junctions and  circuit loops, which states for a junction the total  amount of current entering a junction has to equal the total amount coming out, the loop rule uses the  principle of the conservation of energy to calculate the total potential across the circuit loop. We used a bread board and a diagram to build a circuit and test whether it correctly transmitted current properly. 

 
Given a generic circuit containing  resistors and sources of electric motor force (emf) we used Kirchoffs rules to calculate the potential across a resistors as well as current across a resistor. We created equations which we solved using the systems of equations technique.
 

Here we used a emf source in this case a 9 volt battery, varying resistors ( 3.6 kohm, 2 kohm, 2.2 kohm) and voltmeter to create circuit and test the current through the resistor and the potential drop off that occurs internally in a resistor.

During this lab we conducted various experiments to validate Kirchhoff's laws and how they apply to circuits in real life and theoretically given certain components and voltages.
