Short Description of Topic

Loop Rule

The loop rule simply states that in any round trip path in a circuit, electric potential equals zero.

A Mathematical Model

A mathematical representation is: [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta {V}_{1} + \Delta {V}_{2} + \space.... = 0 }[/math]

Examples

Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible

History

The Loop Rule is formally known as the Kirchhoff Circuit Law, named after Gustav Kirchhoff discovered and defined this fundamental concept of electric circuits.

He discovered this during his time as a student at Albertus University of Königsberg in 1845. Kirchoff went on to explore the topics

of spectroscopy and black body radiation after his graduation from Albertus.
