Kirchoff’s Voltage Law

Posted by Jeff on Jul 26, 2009 in Basic Electrical Engineering Concepts

TweetWhat does Kirchoff’s Voltage Law state? KVL states that the voltage rises around a loop is equal to the voltage drops. Consider Figure 3.  The voltage source supplies 12 V to the two resistors.  This is a voltage rise.  The resistors, therefore, must drop the voltage 12 V to match the 12 V produced by [...]

Kirchoff’s Current Law

Posted by Jeff on Jul 26, 2009 in Basic Electrical Engineering Concepts

TweetWhile analyzing a circuit may seem like a daunting task at first, circuit theory is simply a matter of breaking down larger circuits into smaller, more manageable sections and applying a few fundamental principles to these sections. One of these basics is known as Kirchoff’s Current Law. Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL) KCL states that the [...]
