Kirchhoff's laws

Kirchhoff's laws relate to how electric current and voltage behave in a circuit. Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the total current entering a junction equals the total current leaving, ensuring conservation of charge. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law says that the sum of electrical potential differences around any closed loop in a circuit is zero, reflecting energy conservation. These principles help us analyze complex circuits by ensuring that current flows correctly and energy is conserved throughout the system.
