Topic 2 recap 
• Resistance R is a physical property of a circuit element that impedes the flow 
of charge. It is measured in ohms, Q. 
• Ohm's Law establishes the relationship between the voltage across a 
resistive element (called resistor) and the current through it: 
v = Ri 
• Short circuit: R = 00 v = Ri = O. Open circuit: R = 000 i = E— O.

• Conductance G = 
• Power dissipation on resistor: 
p = Ri2 = 
• Kirchhoffs Current Law (KCL): 
The sum of all current entering and leaving a node is zero in — 
• Kirchhoffs Voltage Law (KVL): 
The sum of all voltages in a loop is zero vm — 
-o. 
Ohm's Law, KCL, and KVL can be applied to analyse any linear circuit.
