Explain kirchhoff's laws with examples
Answers
Answer:
It states that the algebraic sum of all potential drops and emfs along any closed path in a network is zero. OR. The algebraic sum of the emfs in a loop of a circuit is equal to the algebraic sum of the product of current and resistances in it. Mathematically, the loop rule may be expressed as : ∑E=∑IR
Answer :-
Kirchhoff's Laws :-
i) Kirchoff's current Law ( Junction Law ) :
★ It states that " The algebraic sum of the currents meeting at a point of the circuit is zero."
★ Total current entering a junction is equal to total current leaving the junction.
★ It is based in law of conservation of charge.
★ Also known as KCL.
ii) Kirchoff's Voltage Law ( Loop Law ) :-
★ It states that " Algebraic sum of all potential difference along a closed loop is zero. "
★ It is based on conservation of energy
★ While transversing a loop if potential increases, put a positive sign in expression and if sign decreases put a negative sign.
Example -
( refer to the attachment )
In the above circuit, for V₁ the loop is going from positve to negative, so there will be negative sign for V₁.
Also for V₂, the loop is going from positve to negative, so it will have negative sign.
For V₃, it is going from negative to positve, hence it will have positive sign.
For V₄, the loop is going from positve to negative, so it will have negative sign.
Hence,
→ -V₁ - V₂ + V₃ - V₄ = 0
