th3plan said:Can someone help me solve his circuit. I need to find the Voltage on all the resistors, and current through them. HOw would i start? Can i break this into two loops? How would i implement KVL to this ?

A circuit is a closed loop path that electricity can flow through. It consists of various components such as wires, resistors, capacitors, and transistors, which work together to control the flow of electricity. Circuits are used in almost all electronic devices, from small household appliances to complex computer systems.
To calculate the voltage in a circuit, you can use Ohm's Law which states that voltage (V) is equal to current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). So, V = I x R. You can also use a voltmeter to measure the voltage directly in a circuit.
A resistor is a component that is used to limit the flow of electricity in a circuit. It is often used to control the amount of current that flows through a circuit, which can help to protect other components from damage. Resistors can also be used to create specific voltage drops in a circuit.
First, check to make sure all components are connected properly and that there are no loose connections. Next, use a multimeter to check for continuity in the circuit and to measure the voltage at different points. If there is a break in the circuit, you may need to replace a component or fix a broken wire. If everything appears to be connected correctly, you may need to consult a schematic or seek professional help to diagnose the issue.
In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single loop, so the same current flows through each component. In a parallel circuit, each component is connected to the power source separately, so the current is divided between the components. The voltage remains the same in a series circuit, but in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each component can vary.
