    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 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
