What does Ohm's law state about voltage and current at constant temperature?

Voltage is directly proportional to current through a resistor.

What does Kirchhoff's current law say about currents at a node?

The algebraic sum of currents entering a node is zero.

What does Kirchhoff's voltage law state about voltages around a closed path?

The algebraic sum of all voltages around a closed path is zero.

How is electric current defined mathematically?

Electric current is the time rate of change of charge, i=dqdti=\frac{dq}{dt}.

What is the first step in nodal analysis?
