By applying Kirchhoff’s rules, we generate a set of linear equations that allow us to find the unknown values in circuits. These may be currents, voltages, or resistances.

Learn about Kirchhoff’s Rules in this free lesson. We'll cover state Kirchhoff's junction rule, the loop rule, and analyze complex circuits using the rules

Kirchhoff’s first rule—the junction rule: The sum of all currents entering a junction must equal the sum of all currents leaving the junction. Kirchhoff’s second rule—the loop rule: The algebraic …
