General Aim of Kirchhoff's Law Simulation

To verify Kirchhoff’s laws for electric circuits in Kirchhoff's law virtual lab.

Method of Kirchhoff's Law Simulation

Two-loops circuit using kirchhoff online simulator.

Learning Objectives (ILOs)

  • By the end of the Kirchoffs law experiment, student will learn to:

  • State Kirchhoff’s law for electric circuits.
  • Apply Kirchhoff’s current law experiment at node (or junction) points in an electric circuit.
  • Apply Kirchhoff’s voltage law experiment around closed loops within electric circuits during the Kirchhoff's law simulation.
  • Deduce the value of the current in different branches of an electric circuit.

Theoretical Background / Context

Kirchhoff’s First Law (or current law) KCL

It is based on the principle of conservation of charge. It states that:

  • The sum of current that enters the junction equals the sum of current that leaves the junction.


 Kirchhoff’s Second Law (or voltage law) KVL

It is based on the principle of conservation of charge. It states that:

  • Around any closed path, the sum of all voltage drops on all branches within the loop is equal to the sum of the emf’s of the batteries within the loop.

 

Note: Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) also called Kirchhoff Loop Law.

Principle of Work

  • Applying Kirchhoff’s laws to the circuit using kirchhoff law simulator then measuring the currents in different branches. 
  • On the other hand, we theoretically apply Kirchhoff’s to the circuit and calculate the currents in the different branches through kirchhoff's law simulation.
  • Then compare the results to check the validity of Kirchhoff’s laws.
