Chapter 19
DC Circuits
Objective of the Lecture
• Explain Kirchhoff’s Current and Voltage
Laws.
• Demonstrate how these laws can be used to
find currents and voltages in a circuit.
• Explain how these laws can be used in
conjunction with Ohm’s Law.
19.3 Kirchhoff’s Rules
Some circuits cannot be broken down into
series and parallel connections.
Kirchhoff’s Rules
• Many practical resistor networks cannot be reduced to simple series-parallel
combinations (see an example below).
• Terminology:
-A junction in a circuit is a point where three or more conductors meet.
-A loop is any closed conducting path.

Kirchhoff's Rules
Junction rule. The sum of the magnitudes of
the currents directed into a junction equals
the sum of the magnitudes of the currents
directed out of the junction.
Loop rule. Around any closed circuit loop, the
sum of the changes in potential around any
closed path of a circuit must be zero.
Kirchhoff’s Current Law
• Or KCL for short (Junction Rule)
– Based upon conservation of charge – the
algebraic sum of the charge within a system
can not change.

Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law
• Or KVL for short (Loop Rule)
– Based upon conservation of energy – the
algebraic sum of voltages dropped across
components around a loop is zero.

Junction Rule
Junction rule. The sum
of the magnitudes of the
currents directed into a
junction equals the sum
of the magnitudes of the
currents directed out of
the junction.
Application of Junction Rule
A galvanometer is a type of sensitive ammeter: an
instrument for detecting electric current.
Q: A galvanometer
with a full-scale limit of
0.100 mA is to be used
to measure a current
of 60.0 mA. How much
current will pass
through the shunt
resistance R?
A: 60.0 – 0.1 = 59.9 mA
Current Measurement
Multi-Loop Circuits
 Assume we have a junction point a
 We define a current i1 entering junction a and two
currents i2 and i3 leaving junction a
 Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule tells us that
i1 = i 2 + i 3

19.3 Kirchhoff’s Rules
For these circuits we use Kirchhoff’s rules.
Junction rule: The sum of currents entering a
junction equals the sum of the currents
leaving it.
19.3 Kirchhoff’s Rules
Loop rule: The sum of
the changes in
potential around a
closed loop is zero.
Loop Rule
Loop rule. Around any closed circuit loop,
the sum of the potential drops equals the
sum of the potential rises.

Ammeter and Voltmeters
 A device used to measure current is called an ammeter
 A device used to measure voltage is called a voltmeter
 To measure the current, the ammeter must be placed in the
circuit in series
 To measure the voltage, the voltmeter must be wired in
parallel with the component across which the voltage is to
be measured
Voltmeter in parallel
High resistance
since you do not
want current going
through it
Ammeter in series
Low resistance
since current
goes through it

19.3 Kirchhoff’s Rules
Problem Solving: Kirchhoff’s Rules
1. Label each current.
2. Identify unknowns.
3. Apply junction and loop rules; you will
need as many independent equations as
there are unknowns.
4. Solve the equations, being careful with
signs.
