Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) Kirchhoff’s current law (or Kirchhoff’s current rule) results from the conservation of charge. It applies to a junction or node in a circuit (a point in the circuit where charge has several possible paths to travel). In the figure, we see that i1 is the only current flowing into the node. However, there are three paths for current to leave the node, and these currents are represented by i2, i3, and i4. Once charge has entered into the node, it has no place to go except to leave: this is why we speak about conservation of charge. The total charge flowing into a node must be the same as the the total charge flowing out of the node. So, i1 i2 i3 i4 i1 Node i4 i2 i3 Bringing everything to the left side of the above equation, we get i1 i2 i3 i4 0 Then, the sum of all the currents is zero. This can be generalized as follows i i in out 0 1 Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) R1 Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (or Kirchhoff's Loop Rule) is a result of the conservation of energy. It states that the total voltage drops around a closed loop must be zero. If this were not the case, then when we travel around a closed loop, the voltages would be indefinite. So V 0 VA VB R3 R2 Loop 1 Loop 2 In the figure the sum of the voltage drops around loop 1 should be zero, as in loop 2. Furthermore, the voltage drops around the outer part of the circuit (including both loops) should also be zero. Once we have chosen a direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) to go around a loop, we will adopt the convention that the potential drop going from point i to point j is given by If Vi > Vj the potential drop Vij i i is positive, which means that the energy diminishes in that V part of the circuit when i positive charges go from point j i to point j (the energy is R dissipated in a resistence, or Vij V 0 j the energy of the charges drops across a source of Vij i R 0 voltage). If Vi < Vj the potential drop Vij is negative (potential gain), which means that the energy increases in that part of the circuit when positive charges go from point i to point j Vij Vi V j j j V i i R i Vij V 0 Vij i R 0 2
