KIRCHHOFF’S RULES

1. Current Law or Junction Rule or Kirchhoff ’S Current Law (KCL): The algebraic sum
of electric currents at any junction in electrical network is always zero.

Xn
In = 0
i=1

or The sum of incoming currents towards the junction are equal to sum of outgoing
currents at a junction.
This law is a statement of conservation of charge. If current reaching a junction is not equal to
the current leaving the junction, charge will not be conserved.

2. II Law or Loop Law or Junction Rule: Kirchhoff ’S Voltage Law (KVL): The algebraic
sum of changes in potential around any closed loop involving resistors and cells in the
loop is zero.
This law represents conservation of energy. If the sum of potential changes around a closed loop
is not zero, unlimited energy could be gained by repeatedly carrying a charge around a loop.

Sign convention for the application of Kirchoff ’s law

1. While traversing in a loop the direction of current is in the same path then the potential
drop at a resistance is -IR while in the in opposite direction it is +IR.

2. The emf is taken negative when we traverse from positive to negative terminal of the
cell. The emf is taken positive when we traverse from negative to positive terminal of
the cell.

I3 − I1 − I2 = 0
For the node ’d’

For the loop 1 abcda
−4I1 + 9 − 3I3 = 0

For the loop 2 afeda
8 − 5I2 + 9 − 3I3 = 0
17 − 5I2 − 3(I1 + I2 ) = 0

preparing this study material most of the concepts are taken from some text books
or it may be Internet. This material is just for class room teaching to make
better understanding of the concepts on Network analysis: Not for any commercial
