The second of Gustav Kirchhoff’s essential rules that we may apply to circuit analysis is the voltage law. According to his voltage law, the algebraic total of all the voltages around any closed loop in a circuit is equal to zero for a closed loop series route. This is due to the fact that a […]

Understanding Kirchhoff’s Current Law with Calculations
In order to quantify current behavior, circuit analysis uses Kirchhoffs Current Law (KCL). The connecting point or junction, in an electrical or electronic circuit determines the relationship between currents according to this rule. At any circuit junction: Σ IOUT = Σ IIN The algebraic total of all currents entering the junction is represented by Σ IIN. […]
Understanding Kirchhoff’s Circuit Law
Kirchhoff’s Circuit Laws define voltage and current relationships and serve as the foundation for understanding complicated circuits. In one of our earlier lesson, we looked about resistors and how one equivalent resistance (RT) can represent a series, parallel, or combination of resistor connections. Ohm’s Law is readily followed by these circuits when calculating voltage and current. […]
