¾ Kirchhoff’s Current
Law:
“The algebraic sum of
the currents entering
g
any node is zero”

¾ i.e.,
ie

i A + iB + (−iC ) + (−iD ) = 0

¾ In general, N

∑
n =1
in = 0

¾ Kirchhoff’s Voltage
Law:
“The algebraic sum of
the voltages around
any closed path is
zero”

¾ i.e.,
ie

v1 + (−v2 ) + v3 = 0

¾ In general, N
