junction loop Physics terms

Kirchhoff’s laws: current law: voltage law: Equations

Two fundamental laws apply to ALL electric circuits. These are called Kirchhoff’s laws, in honor of German physicist Gustav Robert Kirchhoff (1824–1887). Kirchhoff’s laws

Kirchhoff’s first law is the current law. It is a rule about electric current. It is always true for ALL circuits. Kirchhoff’s current law

The current law is also known as the junction rule. A junction is a place where three or more wires come together. This figure shows an enlargement of the junction at the top of the circuit. Kirchhoff’s current law

Current I o flows INTO the junction. Currents I 1 and I 2 flow OUT of the junction. What do you think the current law says about I, I 1, and I 2 ? Kirchhoff’s current law

Kirchhoff’s current law: The current flowing INTO a junction always equals the current flowing OUT of the junction.

Example: Kirchhoff’s current law

Why is the current law true? Why is this law always true?

Conservation of charge Why is this law always true? It is true because electric charge can never be created or destroyed. Charge is ALWAYS conserved.

This series circuit has NO junctions. The current must be the same everywhere in the circuit. Current can only change at a junction. Applying the current law

A 60 volt battery is connected to three identical 10 Ω resistors. What are the currents through the resistors? Applying the current law 60 V 10 Ω

R eq = 30 Ω I = 60 V / 30 Ω = 2 amps through each resistor Applying the current law 60 V 10 Ω A 60 volt battery is connected to three identical 10 Ω resistors. What are the currents through the resistors?

Applying the current law ? This series circuit has two junctions. Find the missing current.

Applying the current law This series circuit has two junctions. Find the missing current. 2 amps I 2 = 2 A

Applying the current law How much current flows into the upper junction?

Applying the current law I = 4 A How much current flows into the upper junction? 4 amps

Kirchhoff’s voltage law Kirchhoff’s second law is the voltage law. It’s a rule about voltage gains and drops. It is always true for ALL circuits.

The voltage law is also known as the loop rule. A loop is any complete path around a circuit. This circuit has only ONE loop. Pick a starting place. There is only ONE possible way to go around the circuit and return to your starting place. Kirchhoff’s voltage law

This circuit has more than one loop. Charges can flow up through the battery and back through R 1. That’s one loop. Can you describe a second loop that charges might take? Kirchhoff’s voltage law

Charges can flow up through the battery and back through R 2. That’s another loop. Kirchhoff’s voltage law This circuit has more than one loop. Charges can flow up through the battery and back through R 1. That’s one loop. Can you describe a second loop that charges might take?

Kirchhoff’s voltage law Kirchhoff’s voltage law says that sum of the voltage gains and drops around any closed loop must equal zero.

If this battery provides a 30 V gain, what is the voltage drop across each resistor? Assume the resistors are identical. Kirchhoff’s voltage law 30 V

Kirchhoff’s voltage law -10 V +30 V If this battery provides a 30 V gain, what is the voltage drop across each resistor? Assume the resistors are identical. 10 volts each!

Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law A 60 V battery is connected in series with three different resistors. Resistor R 1 has a 10 volt drop. Resistor R 2 has a 30 volt drop. What is the voltage across R 3 ? 60 V -10 V -30 V ?

Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law 60 V -10 V -30 V -20 V 20 volts A 60 V battery is connected in series with three different resistors. Resistor R 1 has a 10 volt drop. Resistor R 2 has a 30 volt drop. What is the voltage across R 3 ?

What if a circuit has more than one loop? Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law Treat each loop separately. The voltage gains and drops around EVERY closed loop must equal zero.

A 30 V battery is connected in parallel with two resistors. What is the voltage across R 1 ? Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law 30 V

Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law A 30 V battery is connected in parallel with two resistors. What is the voltage across R 1 ? 30 V R 1 must have a 30 V drop.

Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law A 30 V battery is connected in parallel with two resistors. What is the voltage across R 1 ? 30 V R 1 must have a 30 V drop. What is the voltage across R 2 ?

R 1 must have a 30 V drop. Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law A 30 V battery is connected in parallel with two resistors. What is the voltage across R 1 ? 30 V What is the voltage across R 2 ? R 2 also has a 30 V drop.

Why is this law always true? Why is the voltage law true?

Why is this law always true? This law is really conservation of energy for circuits. All the electric potential energy gained by the charges must equal the energy lost in one complete trip around a loop. Why is the voltage law true?

All the gravitational potential energy gained by going up a mountain is lost by going back to your starting place. All the electrical energy gained by passing through the battery is lost as charges pass back through the resistors. Conservation of energy
