Kirchoff's current Law (KCL) & Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL)

Kirchoff's laws:

In 1845, a Physicist Kirchoff developed two fundamental laws of electricity whic are used to simplify and solve the complex electrical networks.
  • Kirchoff's Current Law (KCL)
  • Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
Kirchoff's Current Law: (Point Law)
  • The algebraic sum of the currents meeting at a junction point is equal to zero.
  • This law is used in network analysis and simplification
Kirchoff's Voltage Law: (Mesh Law)
  • In any closed electrical circuit, the algebraic sum of all the voltages taken around the loop is always zero.
  • Sum of voltage drops is equal to the sum of voltage rises
