Kirchhoff’s 
Rules
Objectives 
• For us to know what are the kirchhoff’s 
rules and how to compute currents 
using it. 
• To be familiar with the formulas and 
different concepts.
Features 
• Kirchhoff's rules provide a means of obtaining 
enough independent equations to solve for the 
currents flowing in an electrical circuit. 
• Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two equalities that deal 
with the current and potential difference in the 
lumped element model of electrical circuits. 
• They were first described in 1845 by German 
physicist Gustav Kirchhoff.
Definition of Terms 
• Junction- a point where three or more conductors 
meet. 
• Electromotive force- is the voltage developed by 
any source of electrical energy such as a battery or 
dynamo.[ 
• Law of Conservation of Charge- current is flow of 
charge per time, and if current is constant, that 
which flows into a point in a circuit must equal that 
which flows out of it. 
• Law of Conservation of Energy- the total energy 
gained per unit charge must equal the amount of 
energy lost per unit of charge.
Kirchhoff’s Rules 
• Junction/Voltage Rule-this is based on the 
conservation of charge: the sum of currents 
entering a junction is equal the sum leaving. 
Formula: i2 + i3 = i1 + i4 
• Loop/Current Rule-this is based on the conservation 
of energy: The sum of voltages around a closed 
conducting loop must be zero. 
Formula: v1 + v2 + v3 + v4 = 0
Sample Problem
Junction Rule: 
I0=I1+I2 
I0= (-0.0375)+(0.015) 
I0= -0.0225 A 
Solution: 
Loop Rule: 
A: -I2(100Ω)+1.5=0 
-100I2+1.5=0 
I2=0.015 A 
B: -9v-I1(200Ω)+I2(100Ω)=0 
-9-200I1+(0.015)(100)=0 
-200I1=7.5 
I1= -0.0375 A
Applications
Objectives 
• To know how the rules could be 
applied and could contribute to our 
everyday lives and to the society. 
• For us to understand the Kirchhoff’s 
rules in a wider perspective.
New Developments 
• With China's economic rapid development and expansion of urban 
areas, urban traffic congestion is becoming increasingly obvious, 
following from that is not optimistic, the coming of the scarcity of 
urban road resources and traffic situation. At the present time, the 
simulation model on domestic and foreign does not really reflect that 
the traffic flow from the emergence and development of the life-cycle 
process to reduce traffic flow. Kirchhoff's law for the basic 
theory of the analysis, identify the relationship between the 
resistances of traffic and the traffic flow, traffic volume, and so on, to 
obtained analysis model, and reveal the law of the traffic flow life-cycle. 
ADVANTAGES: 
• It could really help to reduce traffic by just applying the concept of Kirchhoff’s 
rules. 
DISADVANTAGES: 
• There could still be limitations because flows in electric currents are 
spontaneous and the flows in traffics are sometimes unpredictable.
Implication to Science and 
Technology 
• A matrix version of Kirchhoff's current law is the basis of most 
circuit simulation software, such as SPICE. It is a powerful 
program that is used in integrated circuit and board-level 
design to check the integrity of circuit designs and to predict 
circuit behavior. 
• Kirchhoff's current law combined with Ohm's Law is used in 
nodal analysis, a method of determining the voltage 
(potential difference) between "nodes. 
• Kirchhoff's rules can be used to analyze any circuit and 
modified for those with EMFs, resistors, capacitors and more.
Single-Loop 
Circuits
Objective 
For us, to learn about 
single-loop circuits and 
how it help us in our 
everyday lives.
Definition of Terms 
• Electrical Circuit- is a network 
consisting of a closed loop, giving a 
return path for the current 
• Direct current (DC)- is the 
unidirectional flow of electric charge
Kirchhoff’s rules
Application 
Without circuits, electricity could 
be impossible, and without 
electricity, we will suffer. 
Especially these modern days.
