BASIC ELECTRONICS FOR FIELD MEASUREMENT The three basic laws we will discuss are Ohm’s law,Kirchhoff’s voltage law, and Kirchhoff’s current law. The main terms used are voltage (units are Volts),current (units are Amps or milliamps), and resistance(units are ohms). These terms by themselves are meaningless unless a relationship can be established. An analogy that we can use to visualize the…
