Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law states that,
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. |

Kirchhoff’s Current Law states that,
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 sources to verify Kirchhoff's Voltage and Current Laws. |
For Kirchhoff’s Law circuit, we require,
| |
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, then 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'll 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 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 resistor.
We can see that the value of I1 is 1.25 milli-Ampere at the right bottom 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
Image:

|
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, current I1 and I2 enter and current I3 leaves.
Similarly, at junction F, current I3 enters, and I1 and I2 leave.
Thus Kirchhoff’s current law is verified.
