    Kirchhoff's Laws
    Kirchhoff's laws provide the foundation for analyzing complex networks. The Current Law (KCL) asserts that the algebraic sum of currents entering any node (junction) must be zero. The Voltage Law (KVL) asserts that the algebraic sum of potential differences around any closed loop must be zero. KVL is fundamentally linked to the conservative nature …

    The driving force behind sustained current flow is the electromotive force (EMF)/), often represented as $\mathcal{E}$. While often measured in volts (V), EMF/) is technically defined as energy per unit charge ($\text{Joules/Coulomb}$).
    The EMF/) is not a force (Newtonian) in the Newtonian sense, but rather a measure of the total work done or energy converted by a [sourc…
