KIRCHOFF's LAWS
This Master Class deals with very important laws of Electrical & Electronics namely KCL & KVL
In 1845, a German physicist, Gustav Kirchhoff developed a pair of laws that deal with the conservation of current and energy within electrical circuits. These two laws are commonly known as Kirchhoff’s Voltage and Current Law. These laws help in calculating the electrical resistance of a complex network or impedance in the case of AC and the current flow in different streams of the network. In the next section, let us look at what these laws state.
What do Kirchhoff’s laws state?
- Kirchhoff’s Current Law goes by several names as Kirchhoff’s First Law and Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule. According to the Junction rule, in a circuit, the total of the currents in a junction is equal to the sum of currents outside the junction.
- Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law goes by several names as Kirchhoff’s Second Law and Kirchhoff’s Loop Rule. According to the loop rule, the sum of the voltages around the closed loop is equal to null.
