Slide:1

Title slide

Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Kirchhoff's Law using Circuitjs simulator.
Slide 2:

Learning Objectives

In this tutorial, we will learn about,
  • Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law and
  • Kirchhoff’s Current Law.
Slide 3:

System Requirement

To record this tutorial, I am using:
  • Ubuntu Linux 20.04 OS
  • CircuitJS Application
Slide 4:

Prerequisite

To follow this tutorial, you should have a basic knowledge of,
  • Electrical circuits.
Slide 5:

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law

Voltage Law.png

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law states that,
  • The sum of all voltages in a closed loop is zero.

Where I is the current flowing in the circuit.

Note: Voltage drops across resistors R1, R2 and R3 are calculated as I x R1, I x R2 and I x R3 respectively.

Slide 6:

Kirchhoff’s Current Law Current Law.png

Kirchhoff’s Current Law states that,
  • The sum of currents entering the junction is equal to the sum of currents leaving the junction.

I1 and I2 are entering currents at the junction and I3, I4 and I5 are leaving currents.

Kirchhoff’s Law.png

Let’s make this complex circuit with 2 DC power sources to verify Kirchhoff's Voltage and Current Laws.
For Kirchhoff’s Law circuit, we require,
  • 5 resistors of 1 Kilo Ohms.
  • 2 DC power supply of 5 Volts.
Point to the menu bar.

Click on File and select New Blank Circuit.

Let us open the circuitJS interface.

In the menu bar, click on File and select New Blank Circuit.

Click on the Draw option and select Add resistor.

Click and drag to draw a resistor.

Click on the Draw option and select Add resistor.

Click and drag to draw a resistor as shown.

By default, the value of this resistor is 1 Kilo Ohm.

Duplicate the resistor.

Right-click on the resistor, >> select the Duplicate option.

We need a total of 5 resistors of the same value for the circuit.

Right-click on the resistor, and select the Duplicate option.

This will generate a resistor of the same value.

Repeat this process until you have 5 resistors in the work area.

Connect and place all the resistors in the same way as shown here.

Use Add Text option for label Use the Add Text option to give labels to these resistors.

Give labels as R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 respectively as shown here.

Show the path to find the DC power supply

Click on Draw, go to Inputs and Sources, >> select Add Voltage Source (2-terminal).

Now we need two DC power supplies to power up the circuit.

Click on Draw, go to Inputs and Sources, and select Add Voltage Source (2-terminal).

Drag and draw the DC power supply in the work area.

Duplicate the DC power supply,

Right-click on the DC power supply, >> choose the Duplicate option.

Right-click on the DC power supply, and choose the Duplicate option.

Now you will have two DC power supplies in the work area.

Arrange and place the DC power supplies in the circuit as shown here.

Name the power supplies Refer to the circuit diagram shown above to check the polarity of the DC power source.

Use the Add Text option to label these power supplies.

Name the power supplies as V1 and V2 as shown here.

For better understanding, we will denote a letter to each of the junctions in the circuit.

Use the Add Text option to denote a letter.

Name these junctions as A, B, C, D, F and G as shown.

Point to ABFG circuit The circuit ABFG, consists of resistors R1, R5, R3 and power supply V1.

The current I1 flows in a clockwise direction in this circuit.

Point to CBFD circuit The circuit CBFD, consists of resistors R2, R5, R4 and power supply V2.

The current I2 flows in an anti-clockwise direction in this circuit.

And, the current I3 flows through R5 resistor.

point the cursor on the specific resistor To find the characteristics, point the cursor on the specific resistor.

The resistor characteristics are shown at the bottom right corner.

Slide 7:

Kirchoff's law final slide.png

According to Kirchhoff's voltage law,

For circuit ABFG, the equation is

V1 = I1R1 + I3R5 + I1R3

For circuit CBFD, the equation is

V2 = - (I2R2 + I3R5 + I2R4)

Since current I2 flows in an anti-clockwise direction, we have to assign a -(minus)sign in the equation.

Let us note down the current flowing through various resistors.

To find the value of I1, click on the R1 or R3 resistors.

We can see that the value of I1 is 1.25 milli-Ampere at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Likewise, click on the R2 or R4 resistors.

The value of I2 is 1.25 milli-Ampere.

Similarly, to find the value of I3, click on the R5 resistor.

The value of I3 is 2.5 milli-Ampere.

In this circuit, value of all resistors, that is, R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 is 1 Kilo Ohm.
Now let us do the calculation and find the value of V1 and V2.

And also check if Kirchhoff's voltage law holds true for this circuit.

Slide 8:

Verification of Kirchhoff's voltage law

V1 = I1R1 + I3R5 + I1R3,

V1 = 1.25 + 2.5 + 1.25

= 5

V2 = - (I2R2 + I3R5 + I2R4)

V2 = -(1.25 + 2.5 + 1.25 )

= -5

Verification of Kirchhoff's voltage law:

After substituting the above values,

V1 is 5 volts V2 is -5 volts

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law formula is:

V = V1 + V2 V = 5 + (- 5 ) ( Five plus minus of five) V = 0

Here, the sum of all the voltages in the closed circuit is 0.

Hence Kirchhoff’s voltage law is verified.

Slide 9:

Verification of Kirchhoff’s Current Law I1 = 1.25mA I2 = 1.25mA I3 = 2.5mA

Verification of Kirchhoff’s Current Law:

Substitute the above values in the current law equation.

Kirchhoff’s Current Law formula is:

I1 + I2 = I3.

1.25mA + 1.25mA = 2.5mA


According to Kirchhoff’s current Law formula, at Junction B, currents I1 and I2 enter and current I3 leaves.

Similarly, at junction F, current I3 enters, and currents I1 and I2 leave.

Thus Kirchhoff’s current law is verified.

This brings us to the end of the tutorial. Let us summarize.
