Answer to Question #106245 in Electric Circuits for Brittney

Question

State two applications of Kirchhoff's laws

Answer 1

As per the Kirchhoff's laws-

1) At any junction, in any electrical circuit the sum of the total current is always zero.

2) In any closed electrical loop, the sum of the net electric potential is always be zero.

Uses of Kirchhoff's law-

1. It is used to determine the unknown values such as electric current and voltage in the circuit.
2. It can be used to analyze the complex circuit that can't be reduced to one equivalent resistance using what we already know about series and parallel resistors.
