KIRCHHOFF CURRENT LAW
One of the fundamental conservation principles
In electrical engineering
“CHARGE CANNOT BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED”
NODES, BRANCHES, LOOPS
A NODE CONNECTS SEVERAL COMPONENTS.
BUT IT DOES NOT HOLD ANY CHARGE.
TOTAL CURRENT FLOWING INTO THE NODE
MUST BE EQUAL TO TOTAL CURRENT OUT
OF THE NODE
(A CONSERVATION OF CHARGE PRINCIPLE)
NODE: point where two, or more, elements
are joined (e.g., big node 1)
LOOP: A closed path that never goes
twice over a node (e.g., the blue line)
The red path is NOT a loop
BRANCH: Component connected between two
nodes (e.g., component R4)
NODE
‧節點node:兩個以上的電路元件連接的地方。
‧本質節點essential node:三個以上電路元件
連接的一種節點。
‧路徑path:由基本元件連成,但每個元件只能
通過一次的路線。
‧分支branch:連接二個節點的路徑。
‧本質分支essential branch:連接二個本質節
點但不通過別的本質節點的路徑。
‧迴路loop:終點跟起點是同一個節點的路徑。
‧網目mesh:不再含其他迴路的一種迴路,也就
是最小的迴路。
KIRCHHOFF CURRENT LAW (KCL)
Sum of currents flowing into a node is
Equal to sum of currents flowing out of
The node
5A
≡
− 5A
A current flowing into a node
is equivalent to the negative
flowing out of the node
Algebraic sum of current (flowing) out of
A node is zero
Algebraic sum of currents flowing into a
Node is zero
A node is a point of connection of two or more circuit elements.
It may be stretched out or compressed for visual purposes…
But it is still a node
A generalized node is any part of a
circuit where there is no accumulation
Of charge
... OR WE CAN MAKE SUPERNODES BY
AGGREGATING NODES
Leaving 2 : i1 + i6 − i4 = 0
Leaving 3 : − i2 + i4 − i5 + i7 = 0
Adding 2 & 3 : i1 − i2 − i5 + i6 + i7 = 0
Interpretation: sum of currents leaving
nodes 2&3 is zero
Visualization: we can enclose nodes 2&3
inside a surface that is viewed as a
generalized node (or supernode)

− i 3 ( t ) + i 5 ( t ) − i8 ( t ) = 0
THE FIFTH EQUATION IS THE SUM OF THE
FIRST FOUR... IT IS REDUNDANT!!!

KCL depends only on the interconnection.
The type of component is irrelevant
KCL depends only on the topology of the circuit
WRITE KCL EQUATIONS FOR THIS CIRCUIT
•THE LAST EQUATION IS AGAIN LINEARLY
DEPENDENT OF THE PREVIOUS THREE
•THE PRESENCE OF A DEPENDENT SOURCE
DOES NOT AFFECT APPLICATION OF KCL
KCL DEPENDS ONLY ON THE TOPOLOGY
Here we illustrate the use
of a more general idea of
node. The shaded surface

as a BIG node

background: when discussing kcl we saw
that not all possible kcl equations
are independent. we shall see that the
same situation arises when using kvl

Example: For the circuit shown we have
N = 6, B = 7.
Hence there are only two independent

The third equation is the sum of the
other two!!
