Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is Kirchhoff’s first law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sum of all currents that enter an electrical circuit junction is 0. The currents enter the junction have positive sign and the currents that leave the junction have a negative sign:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another way to look at this law is that the sum of currents that enter a junction is equal to the sum of currents that leave the junction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KCL example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I<\/em>1<\/sub> and I<\/em>2<\/sub> enter the junction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/em>3<\/sub> leave the junction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/em>1<\/sub>=2A, I<\/em>2<\/sub>=3A, I<\/em>3<\/sub>=-1A, I<\/em>4<\/sub>= ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2211Ik<\/sub><\/em> = I<\/em>1<\/sub>+I<\/em>2<\/sub>+I<\/em>3<\/sub>+I<\/em>4 <\/sub>= 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/em>4<\/sub> = -I<\/em>1<\/sub> – I<\/em>2<\/sub> – I<\/em>3 <\/sub>= -2A – 3A – (-1A) = -4A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I<\/em>4<\/sub> is negative, it leaves the junction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is Kirchhoff’s second law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sum of all voltages or potential differences in an electrical circuit loop is 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

KVL example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

VS<\/sub><\/em> = 12V, V<\/em>R1<\/em><\/sub> = -4V, V<\/em>R2<\/em><\/sub> = -3V<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V<\/em>R3<\/em><\/sub> = ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2211Vk<\/sub><\/em> = VS <\/sub><\/em>+ V<\/em>R1 <\/em><\/sub>+ V<\/em>R2 <\/em><\/sub>+ V<\/em>R3 <\/em><\/sub>= 0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V<\/em>R3<\/em><\/sub> =-VS <\/sub><\/em>– V<\/em>R1<\/em><\/sub>– V<\/em>R2<\/em><\/sub> = -12V+4V+3V = -5V<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
