  • Chapter 13: Kirchhoff’s Rules

    13.1 Introduction To analyze complex circuits with multiple branches, loops, and nodes, we use Kirchhoff’s rules. These rules, developed by Gustav Kirchhoff, allow us to derive relationships between currents and voltages in a circuit, enabling us to calculate the unknown values. In this chapter, we will discuss Kirchhoff’s rules and how to apply them to…

  • Kirchhoff’s Laws

    Introduction Kirchhoff’s Laws, formulated by Gustav Kirchhoff, are fundamental to circuit analysis and design. They provide a set of rules that help us understand how electrical charge and energy behave in electrical circuits. They include two main laws: Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL). Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL) Kirchhoff’s Current Law, also…
