UNIT KIRCHOFF LAW

Question 1

Named after Gustav Kirchhoff, a German physicist.

Answer 1

Two main laws:
* Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
* Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)

Question 2

states that the total current
entering a junction or a node is equal to the charge leaving the node as no charge is lost.

Answer 2

KIRCHHOFF’S CURRENT LAW (KCL)

Question 3

is sometimes call Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule

junction is any point in a circuit
where two or more circuit paths come together.

Answer 3

KIRCHHOFF’S CURRENT LAW (KCL)

Question 4

RED BOX

Answer 4

JUNCTION BOX

Question 5

states that the sum of all voltages
around a closed loop in a circuit is
zero.

Based on the principle of
conservation of energy.

• Applies to any closed loop in a circuit. (LOOP)

Answer 5

KIRCHHOFF’S VOLTAGE LAW (KVL)
