How can Kirchhoff's Laws be used to find node voltage in a circuit?

AI Thread Summary
Kirchhoff's Laws are essential for analyzing circuits, particularly for finding node voltages. Users are encouraged to apply Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) to their circuit schematics for accurate results. Providing a schematic along with attempted calculations can help others offer targeted assistance. Common issues with voltage discrepancies may arise from incorrect application of these laws. Engaging with the community by sharing specific circuit details can lead to effective troubleshooting and solutions.

Hi.. I'm trying to figure out how to find voltage over nodes in a circuit can anyone give me a crash course or just explain it... I've been using KCL to find it but my voltages are always out of whack... any suggestions would be helpful

Show a schematic and your attempt to solve it, and we can help you.
 
Read about Kirkoff's Laws and apply them in your circuit. Otherwise, post a schematic and we may find an easier way to solve it.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
