FROM YOUR PREVIOUS
LECTURE ??

KIRCHHOFFs VOLTAGE LAW

QUESTION TIME

State the KCL and KVL

At any node (junction) in an electrical circuit,
the sum of currents flowing into that node is
equal to the sum of currents flowing out of
that node. ( I in = I out)
The sum of the emfs in any closed loop is
equivalent to the sum of the potential drops in
that loop. ( emf = V )

After completing this lecture you should be able to:

1. Write KCL at every node in the circuit.

2. solve the KCL equations for simple
circuits.
3. Write KVL at every loop in the circuit.
4. solve the KVL equations for simple
circuits.

Exercise
Use KCL to find the current (I) in each branch.

Answer

Exercise

Draw the suitable KVL loops.

Write the KVL equations
