How to use Kirchoff’s Laws
Analyze circuit and identify all independent branches
- Identify all circuit nodes - these are where KCL eqn’s are found
- Analyze circuit and identify all independent loops where S DVi = 0 <- KVL
- determine which KCL equations are algebraically independent (not all are in this circuit!)
- I1=I2+I3
- I4=I2+I3
- I4=I5+I6
- I1=I5+I6
