Kirchhoff s Voltage Law (KVL)
Kirchhoffs voltage law states that the sum of all resistor
voltage drops in a series circuit equals the applied voltage
.
Expressed as an equation, Kirchhoffs voltage law is
VT =V1 +V2 +V3
Kirchhoff s Current Law (KCL)
Kirchhoffs current law (KCL) states that the total
current It in the main line of a parallel circuit equals the
sum of the individual branch currents.
Expressed as an equation, Kirchhoffs current law is
It = I1 +I2 I3
KVL-An Example
A voltage source produces an IR drop of 40 V across a
R1=20ohm , 60 V across a R2=30ohm , and 180 V across a
R3=90ohm , all in series. According to Kirchhoffs voltage
law, how much is the applied voltage V T ?
Vt=40+60+90=280V
KCL-An Example
An R1 of 20 ohm , an R2 of 40ohm , and an R3 of 60ohm
are connected in parallel across the 120-V power line.
Using Kirchhoffs current law, determine the total current
It

Capacitors
Definition: A capacitor is an electronic device that stores
an electrical charge between the two plates
A basic capacitor has two parallel plates separated by an
insulating material
The unit of capacitance is Farads (F)
Capacitance values are normally smaller, such as F, nF
or pF
