  • A junction where 2 or more elements connect is called a Node.
  • These connections between nodes that can be a resistor, capacitor, etc. are called branches.
  • The number of branches is equal to the number of elements.
  • A loop is a closed path going through circuit elements.
  • In Kirchhoff's Law of Voltage, the sum of voltages around a loop is zero.
  • Closing the switch allows the capacitor to charge.
  • Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other.
  • Like poles repel, opposite poles attract.
  • Electric charge creates electric field E.
  • The magnitude is equal to the magnitude charge (magnitude increases, magnitude charge also increases, vice versa).
  • A charged particle at rest experiences no magnetic force.
  • Gustav Kirchhoff is a German physicist.
  • A charged particle whose velocity is perpendicular to the field direction will follow a circular path.
  • The magnitudes of v(velocity) and F(force) are constant.
  • Repulsion - Opposite direction
  • Attraction - Same Direction
