{wiki=Kirchhoff's_circuit_laws}
Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two fundamental principles used to analyze electrical circuits. Formulated by Gustav Kirchhoff in the 19th century, these laws are essential for understanding current and voltage in circuit analysis. The two laws are: \#\#\# 1. Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) Also known as the first law or the junction rule, KCL states that the total current entering a junction (or node) in an electrical circuit must equal the total current leaving that junction.
