Kirchhoff’s Laws - Physics Class 12

Kirchhoff’s Laws—

Kirchhoff gave two laws

  1. Kirchhoff’s First law or Junction Law or Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL)
  2. 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.

Heating Effect of Current - Physics Class 12

Heating Effect of Current--

When a resistor is connected with a voltage source, electrons start flow from negative electrode to positive electrode through this resistor and energy of the source gets dissipated in the form of heat produced in the resistor. This phenomenon is called heating effect of current.

 Let we have a resistor ‘R’ which is connected to a Battery of voltage ‘V’ so that current ‘I’ flows Through it. Amount of charge flows through R in time t(q)=It

Amount of  work done to flow charge ‘q’ through Resistor (W) =  qV
