    This document discusses applying Kirchhoff's laws to solve circuit problems. It provides examples of using Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) to analyze multiple loops in a circuit diagram. Key steps include identifying all the loops in a circuit, determining the direction of current and voltage sources for each loop, then writing KVL or KCL equations accordingly. Combining both KVL and KCL is often necessary to solve for unknown currents and voltages. The document also includes sample problems and their solutions using these methods.

    Applying Kirchhoff’s laws

    Small revision
    Example In this fig. let apply KCL and KVL.

    For KVL lets draw how many loops we have


    here and apply the KVL for each loop.
    Attention should be applied at the
    direction of the loop and the direction of
    current and batteries .

    KCL from node P, we


    deduce that
    Loop 1 touches :
    Emf 6V, Resistor 30Ω, resistor 10Ω

    enters through 30Ω resistor


    enter through 10 Ω resistor

    From fig. we see that the direction


    of loop 1 corresponds with the
    direction of currents 1 and 3

    According to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law :


    Loop 2 touches :
    Emf 2V, Resistor 30Ω

    Even though is part of loop 2, it doesn’t


    enter any resistor, so there is no pd related to
    it. We don’t take it into account.
    According to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law :
    Loop 3 touches:
    Emf 6V, emf 2V and resistor 10Ω

    enter through 10 Ω resistor


    Even though is part of loop 3, it doesn’t
    enter any resistor, so there is no pd related to
    it. We don’t take it into account.
    From the direction of the loop it goes from
    the – to + in the 6V emf and from + to – in the 2V emf.
    Meaning emf 6V is positive and emf 2V in negative
    According to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law :

    In order to solve the exercises,


    a combination of KCL and KVL
    will be used
    Exercise

    question 9

    Solution. Lets draw the loop and the currents. From ammeters 1 and 2, we can
    deduce currents 1, 2. At node P in the fig we can see the directions of currents 1 and 3,
    but current 2 no. We will find the magnitude and directions of each current by
    applying the KVL for two loops of our choice.

    Loop 1

    Loop 2

    (direction)
    Page 156 Figure 10.28 shows a circuit containing batteries and resistors. You may assume
    Ex: 6 that the batteries have negligible internal resistance.

    i Use Kirchhoff ’s first law to find the current


    in the 4.00 Ω and 8.00 Ω resistors.

    From KCL at node P we have :

    ii Calculate the e.m.f. of E1.


    Given the direction of loop 1 we have:
    iii Calculate the value of E2.
    Given the direction of loop 2 we have:

    Opposite direction between


    loop2 and current 3

    Another way to solve it by choosing loop 3.


    According to it we have:

    The – sign is because


    according loop 3 they
    are connected in
    opposite way
    iv Calculate the current in the 12.00 Ω resistor.

    From loop 4 we have:
