    Kirchoff Laws
AI Thread Summary
Kirchhoff's Laws focus on understanding the principles of voltage and current in electrical circuits rather than just memorizing formulas. The first law states that the total current entering a junction equals the total current leaving it, while the second law asserts that the sum of potential differences in a closed circuit equals zero. It's essential to combine these laws with Ohm's Law for accurate calculations in linear circuits. Mastery of basic concepts like voltage dividers and resistor configurations is also crucial for applying Kirchhoff's Laws effectively. A comprehensive grasp of these principles enhances circuit analysis and problem-solving skills.

Pls anyone can Give me full detail of Kirchoff Law of Voltage and Current pls,,,

Regard Kirchhoff as principles rather then formulas. Try to understand them rather then purely applying them.

Combine them with Ohm's law in linear circuits to calculate the results.
Also master the basic principles of voltage dividers ( two resistors in series for instance), resistors in parallel, etc... first.

Thanks brotherrr
 
this website is not showing this LAWS
 
it does state

Kirchhoff : "The total current flowing into a point is equal to the current flowing out of that point" AND "The potential differences around a circuit add up to zero"

They look like laws to me.
 
Have a look at this.

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
