IBDP Physics Unit 5 - Kirchhoff’s law

Kirchhoff's Laws are fundamental principles in the study of electrical circuits. There are two laws that bear his name: Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL).

Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the total current entering a junction in a circuit must equal the total current exiting that junction. This law is used to analyze and design complex circuits with multiple branches and loops.

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that the sum of all voltage drops in a closed loop circuit must equal the total voltage supplied to the circuit. This law is used to determine the voltage drops across different components in a circuit.

Together, these laws provide a set of rules that can be used to analyze and design electrical circuits. In this video, we will explore Kirchhoff's Laws in more detail and demonstrate how they can be applied to solve problems in circuit analysis. Whether you're a student of electrical engineering, an electronics enthusiast, or just curious about how circuits work, this video is for you.
