DC Network Theorems Unit 2 – Kirchhoff's Current Law
UNIT 2 – KIRCHHOFF'S CURRENT LAW
UNIT OBJECTIVE
At the completion of this unit, you will be able to analyze dc circuits by using Kirchhoff's current
law.
UNIT FUNDAMENTALS
Kirchhoff's current law can be used to determine current into or out of circuit junction
Kirchhoff's current law provides a solution for determining current in parallel branch circuits.
Each parallel branch, R1 and R2, allows current to flow from the power source.
Each branch circuit provides a current path. Resistor R1 in this circuit is one branch. Resistor R2
in this circuit is another branch.
