This unit will describe how to analyze a direct current circuit with a single power source using a process called resistor reduction. When you have finished you will be able to reduce a collection of resistors down to a single resistor and then analyze the current used, voltage dropped, and power consumed by each resistor in the circuit. This unit utilizes Kirchoff's rules but it does not address them directly. For the sake of time, that discussion is saved for AP physics.
