law of kirchaf
Kirchhoff's circuit laws are two equalities that deal with the current and potential difference in the lumped element model of electrical circuits. They were first described in 1845 by German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff. This generalized the work of Georg Ohm and preceded the work of James Clerk Maxwell. According to Kirchoff's Current Law (KCL), the sum of all currents entering a node equals to the sum of all currents leaving it. The current IR1 in this simulation divides into two - IR2 and IR3 – and is, thus, equal to their sum: IR1 - IR2 - IR3 = 0. In other words, IR1 = IR2 + IR3.
