    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,,,
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
you can start here

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.

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
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...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
