Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two equalities that deal with current and potential difference (voltage) in electrical circuits. The first law states that the algebraic sum of currents at a node is zero, and the second law states that the algebraic sum of the voltages around any closed loop is zero. Both laws can be understood as corollaries of Maxwell's equations for low-frequency circuits and are accurate for analyzing DC and low-frequency AC circuits. The document provides an introduction to Kirchhoff's laws along with an example of their application.
