Theory for Kirchhoff's Current and Kirchhoff's Volatage Law
a) Kirchhoff's Voltage law states that the algebraic sum of the voltage around any closed path in a given circuit is always zero. In any circuit, voltage drops across the resistors always have polarities opposite to the source polarity. When the current passes through the resistor, there is a loss in energy and therefore a voltage drop. In any element, the current flows from a higher potential to lower potential. Consider the fig shown above in which there are 3 resistors are in series. According to kickoff's voltage law.
V = V1 + V2 + V3
b) Kirchhoff's current law states that the sum of the currents entering a node equal to the sum of the currents leaving the same node. Consider the fig shown above in which there are 3 parallel paths. According to Kirchhoff's current law.
I = I1 + I2 + I3
Procedure for Kirchhoff's Voltage law:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in fig (2a).
2. Measure the voltages across the resistors.
3. Observe that the algebraic sum of voltages in a closed loop is zero.
Procedure for Kirchhoff's current law:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in fig (2b).
2. Measure the currents through the resistors.
3. Observe that the algebraic sum of the currents at a node is zero.
