This discussion focuses on finding resources for solved problems related to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) in DC circuits. Participants emphasize the importance of these laws in solving circuit problems, noting that KVL states the sum of voltage drops in a closed loop equals zero, while KCL states the net current out of a node equals zero. Users suggest searching online for solved problems and encourage creating original problems as a learning exercise.
PREREQUISITESEngineering students, electrical engineers, and educators looking to deepen their understanding of circuit analysis through practical problem-solving examples.
They're Kirchoff's (sp?) voltage and current summing laws. They're what you use to solve basic circuit problems. The KVL says that the sum of all the voltage drops around a closed loop has to equal zero. The KCL says that the net current out of a node has to equal zero. Using one or the other form let's you write simultaneuous equations for the currents and voltages in a circuit, in order to solve for unknown currents and voltages. For example, you generally use the KCL form to solve for the transfer function of opamp circuits (where you use the simplifying assumption that the high gain of the opamp keeps its two input terminals at the same voltage via the feedback circuit).enigma said:
