Kirchhoff’s First Law
Junction Law or Current Law:
It states that the sum of the currents flowing into a junction is equal to the sum of the currents flowing out of the junction.
At Junction A: Incoming current = outgoing current
I₁ + I₂ = I₃ + I₄ or I₁ + I₂ − I₃ − I₄ = 0
∑I = 0
CBSE: Class 12
Kirchhoff’s Second Law
Loop Law or Potential Law:
Kirchhoff’s second law states that the algebraic sum of changes in potential around any closed loop is zero.
- Kirchhoff’s second law can be expressed as ∑V = 0
