释义

Definition of Kirchhoff's laws in English:

Kirchhoff's laws

plural nounˈkɪətʃɒfs
Physics
  • Two laws concerning electric networks in which steady currents are flowing. The first law states that the algebraic sum of the currents in all the conductors that meet in a point is zero. The second law states that the algebraic sum of the products of current and resistance in each part of any closed path in a network is equal to the algebraic sum of the electromotive forces in the path.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • For branched cycles, Kirchhoff's law can be applied to calculate the resistance of the complete network, in analogy to its use for electric circuits.
    • Since Kirchhoff's laws are derived from general physical properties of electricity, they are applicable to all kinds of electric circuits.
    • In order to quickly measure transmission on any given night, we thus use the alternative approach based on Kirchhoff's law.
    • Proficiency in analyzing circuits with Kirchhoff's laws, particularly with regard to the sign conventions and with solving simultaneous equations, comes with practice.
    • In working with Kirchhoff's law, positive and negative polarities are assigned in the direction of current flow.

Origin

Mid 19th century: named after G. R. Kirchhoff (see Kirchhoff, Gustav Robert).
