    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 '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
