    Solved Example On KCL and KVL 111

    This document solves an example circuit problem using Kirchhoff's Laws (KCL and KVL). The circuit contains resistors R1=10Ω, R2=4Ω, and R3=8Ω connected to two batteries. It applies KCL at junctions C and A, then uses KVL in the ABC and ACD meshes. This results in two equations that are solved to find the currents through each resistor. The current through R1 is 1.895A, through R2 is 0.263A, and through R3 is their difference of 1.632A. Kirchhoff's laws are used to solve circuits with multiple power supplies and loops.

    Solved Example on KCL and KVL (Kirchhoffs Laws)

    Example:
    Resistors of R1= 10, R2 = 4 and R3 = 8 are connected up to two batteries (of
    negligible resistance) as shown. Find the current through each resistor.

    Solution:
    Assume currents to flow in directions indicated by arrows.
    Apply KCL on Junctions C and A.
    Therefore, current in mesh ABC = i1
    Current in Mesh CA = i2
    Then current in Mesh CDA = i1 i2
    Now, Apply KVL on Mesh ABC, 20V are acting in clockwise direction. Equating the
    sum of IR products, we get;
    10i1 + 4i2 = 20 . (1)
    In mesh ACD, 12 volts are acting in clockwise direction, then:
    8(i1i2) 4i2= 12
    8i1 8i2 4i2= 12
    8i1 12i2 = 12 . (2)
    Multiplying equation (1) by 3;
    30i1 + 12i2 = 60
    Solving for i1
    30i1 + 12i2 = 60
    8i1 12i2 = 12
    ______________
    38i1 = 72

    The above equation can be also simplified by Elimination or Cramers Rule.


    i1 = 72/38 = 1.895 Amperes = Current in 10 Ohms resistor
    Substituting this value in (1), we get:
    10(1.895) + 4i2 = 20
    4i2 = 20 18.95
    i2 = 0.263 Amperes = Current in 4 Ohms Resistors.
    Now,
    i1 i2 = 1.895 0.263 = 1.632 Amperes
