The discussion revolves around finding resources for solved problems related to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) in simple DC circuits. Participants express a need for websites that provide sample problems and solutions.
There is no consensus on specific resources for solved problems, and participants have varying levels of understanding and approaches to the topic. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best sources for KVL and KCL problems.
Participants express differing familiarity with KVL and KCL, and there are varying interpretations of how these laws are presented in different educational materials.
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:
