    Kirchoff Laws
AI Thread Summary
Kirchhoff's Laws focus on understanding the principles of voltage and current in electrical circuits rather than just memorizing formulas. The first law states that the total current entering a junction equals the total current leaving it, while the second law asserts that the sum of potential differences in a closed circuit equals zero. It's essential to combine these laws with Ohm's Law for accurate calculations in linear circuits. Mastery of basic concepts like voltage dividers and resistor configurations is also crucial for applying Kirchhoff's Laws effectively. A comprehensive grasp of these principles enhances circuit analysis and problem-solving skills.

Pls anyone can Give me full detail of Kirchoff Law of Voltage and Current pls,,,

Regard Kirchhoff as principles rather then formulas. Try to understand them rather then purely applying them.

Combine them with Ohm's law in linear circuits to calculate the results.
Also master the basic principles of voltage dividers ( two resistors in series for instance), resistors in parallel, etc... first.

Thanks brotherrr
 
this website is not showing this LAWS
 
it does state

Kirchhoff : "The total current flowing into a point is equal to the current flowing out of that point" AND "The potential differences around a circuit add up to zero"

They look like laws to me.
 
Have a look at this.

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
