Question

Are Kirchhoff’s laws applicable to both AC and DC circuits?

Short/Brief Note
Advertisements

Solution

Kirchhoff’s laws are applicable for DC as well as AC circuits. They can be accurately used for DC circuits and low-frequency AC circuits. In the case of AC though, summation of current should be done in vector form or using the instantaneous value for the AC components of the circuit.
