A matrix version of Kirchhoff's current law is the basis of most circuit simulation software, such as SPICE. The current law is used with Ohm's law to perform nodal analysis. The current law is applicable to any lumped network irrespective of the nature of the network; whether unilateral or bilateral, active or passive, linear or non-linear.
Here is a partial list of electrical dualities: voltage – current; parallel – series (circuits) resistance – conductance; voltage division – current division; impedance – admittance; capacitance – inductance; reactance – susceptance; short circuit – open circuit; Kirchhoff's current law – Kirchhoff's voltage law. KVL and KCL
Nodal analysis is essentially a systematic application of Kirchhoff's current law (KCL) for circuit analysis. Similarly, mesh analysis is a systematic application of Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL). Nodal analysis writes an equation at each electrical node specifying that the branch currents incident at a node must sum to zero (using KCL). The ...
The Tellegen theorem is applicable to a multitude of network systems. The basic assumptions for the systems are the conservation of flow of extensive quantities (Kirchhoff's current law, KCL) and the uniqueness of the potentials at the network nodes (Kirchhoff's voltage law, KVL).
The law is not derived in a way that can be applied to modern circuits. The law is presented as an approximation for slow systems, but modern circuits are not slow. Here is the formal argument. The current in the discussion of Kirchhoff’s law is the flux of charges with mass. Kirchhoff’s law then says that charges do not accumulate.
“Home is a shelter from storms — all sorts of storms.” — William J. Bennett, former U.S. Secretary of Education “No matter who you are or where you are, instinct tells you to go home.”
Derived from a quote by science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon (1918–1985). Sutton's law: "Go where the money is." Often cited in medical schools to teach new doctors to spend resources where they are most likely to pay off.
Gustav Robert Kirchhoff (German: [ˈgʊs.taːf ˈkɪʁç.hɔf]; 12 March 1824 – 17 October 1887) was a German chemist, mathematican and physicist who contributed to the fundamental understanding of electrical circuits, spectroscopy and the emission of black-body radiation by heated objects.
