Kirchhoff's Law

Kirchhoff's Laws are fundamental principles in electrical circuits. Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the total current entering a junction equals the total current leaving it, ensuring charge conservation. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that the sum of electrical voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero, reflecting energy conservation. Essentially, these laws help us understand and analyze how current flows and how voltage is distributed in complex electrical systems, ensuring that the energy and charge are balanced throughout the circuit.
