Question
State the two Kirchhoff’s rules used in the analysis of electric circuits and explain them.
Solution
- Junction rule: At any junction, the sum of the currents entering the junction is equal to the sum of currents leaving the junction.
- Loop rule: The algebraic sum of changes in potential around any closed loop involving resistors and cells in the loop is zero.
