Kirchhoff’s Laws - Physics Class 12
Kirchhoff’s Laws—
Kirchhoff gave two laws
- Kirchhoff’s First law or Junction Law or Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
- Kirchhoff’s Second Law or Loop Law or Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
Kirchhoff’s First law or Junction Law or Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
This law states that at a junction, the algebraic sum of all the currents is zero. In other words at a junction the sum of all the incoming currents is equal to the sum of all the outgoing currents.
