Then sum to Zero: +E1 –E2 – iR1 – iR2 = 0.Step II: Apply Loop RuleStep II: Apply Loop RuleR1R2E1E2+–+–Conservation of ENERGY!Step II: Apply Junction RuleStep II: Apply Junction RuleAt every junction sum the ingoing currents and outgoing currents and set them equal. i1 = i2 + i3 i1i2i3Conservation of CHARGE!Step III: Equations to UnknownsStep III: Equations to UnknownsContinue Steps I–III until you have as many equations as unknowns! +E1 –E2 – i1R1 – i2 R2 = 0andi = i1 + i2Solve for i2 , i3 Given: E1 , E2 , i , R1 , R2ExampleExampleFind the equivalent resistance between points (a) F and H and (b) F and G. (Hint: For each pair of points, imagine that a battery is connected across the pair.) Compile R’s in SeriesCompile equivalent R’s in ParallelFHFHFHSlide RuleSeriesParallelExampleExampleAssume the batteries are ideal, and have emf E1=8V, E2=5V, E3=4V, and R1=140R2=75andR3=2. What is the current in each branch?What is the power delivered by each battery?Which point is at a higher potential, a or b?Apply loop rule three times and junction rule twice.ExampleExample•What’s the current through resistor R1?•What’s the current through resistor R2? •What’s the current through each battery?Apply loop rule three times and junction rule twice.Non-Ideal BatteriesNon-Ideal Batteries•You have two ideal identical batteries, and a resistor. Do you connect the batteries in series or in parallel to get maximum current through R?•Does the answer change if you have non-ideal (but still identical) batteries?Apply loop and junction rulesuntil you have current in R.More Light BulbsMore Light Bulbs•If all batteries are ideal, and all batteries and light bulbs are identical, in which arrangements will the light bulbs as bright as the one in circuit X?•Does the answer change if batteries are not ideal?Calculate i and V across each bulb.P=iV= “brightness”orCalculate each i with R’s the
