    Kirchhoff's Current and Voltage Laws

    Uploaded by

    Kiran Kumar B M
    Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) states that the sum of currents entering a node equals the sum of currents exiting that node. Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) states that the sum of the potential differences around a closed loop equals zero, or that the sum of the voltage drops across resistors equals the supply voltage in a loop. The document provides examples of applying KCL to solve for an unknown current and illustrates closed and non-closed loops as it relates to applying KVL.

    Kirchhoffs Current and

    Voltage Laws

    KCL (Kirchhoffs Current Law)

    The sum of the currents


    entering a node equals the
    sum of the currents exiting
    a node.

    Node

    Application of KCL

    I1 = 2A

    I3 = 5A
    I2 = 3A

    Problem w/KCL

    I1 = ?

    I3 = 250 mA
    I2 = 150 mA

    KVL (Kirchhoffs Voltage Law)

    The sum of the potential


    differences around a
    closed loop equals zero.

    Closed Loop #1

    Closed Loop #2

    Closed Loop #3

    Closed Loop #4

    Not Closed #1

    Not Closed #2

    What KVL Really Means

    Sum of the Voltage drops


    across resistors equals the
    Supply Voltage in a Loop.

    KVL #1

    KVL #2
