KIRCHHOFF’S LAW

KIRCHHOFF’S  LAW video

  KIRCHHOFF’S VOLTAGE LAW  

*For any closed path in a network, Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) states that the algebraic sum of the voltages is zero

 

*Some of the voltages will be sosurces, while others will result from current in passive elements creating  avoltage

* sum of voltage sources =sum of drop voltage

sum of voltage sources -sum of drop voltage =0

                                                                                                                       for  from the current direction as shown, we have

Va –Vb-V1-V2-V3 =0

Va-Vb= I(R1+R2+R3) =0

 

KIRCHHOFF’S CURRENT LAW

*The connection of two or more circuit elements creates a junction called a node

* The junction between two elements is called a simple node and no division of current results

* The junction of three ormore elements is called   aprincipal node and here current division does take place Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) states that the algrebraic sum of the currents at a node is zero

* It may be stated alternatively that the sum of the currents enteringa node is equal to the sum of the currents leaving that node

 

sum of current enter the node =sum of current out

∑ Ienter = ∑ Iout

 

* CIRCUIT ELEMENTS IN SERIES

Three passive circuit elements in series connection as shown in Fig we have the same current i. The voltages across the elements are v1, v2, and v3The total voltage v is the sum of the individual voltages

 

v = v1 + v2 + v3

 *CIRCUIT ELEMENTS IN PARALLEL

For three circuit elements connected in parallel as shown in Fig KCL states that the current i entering the principal node is the sum of the three currents leaving the node through the branches

                                                                                                                                                         VOLTAGE DIVISION*

                                       

                                                                                                                        set of series-connected resistors as shown in Fig is referred to as a voltage divider Theconcept extends beyond the set of resistors illustrated here and applies equally to impedances in series

                                                                                                                        CURRENT DIVISION

 

  A parallel arrangement of resistors as shown in Fig results in a current dividerThe ratio of thebranch current i1 to the total current i illustrates the operation of the divider
