Kirchhoff's _______ Law states that the sum of the voltage drops at each component in a series circuit is equal to the total voltage.

Kirchhoff's ______ Law states that the sum of the amps measured at each component in a parallel circuit is equal to the total current.

This law defines the relationship between voltage, current and resistance at each given component.
