How do you measure current and voltage in circuit by kirchoff's method?

Kirchhoff (not 'Kirchoff') doesn't suggest any way of measuring current or voltage in a circuit. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law defines the relationships between potential differences around any closed loop within a circuit. Kirchhoff's Current Law defines the relationships between currents at any junction within a circuit. Kirchhoff's Laws may also be used to solve complex circuits ('complex' circuits are those circuits which are not series, parallel, or series-parallel).
Current and voltage may be measured with an ammeter and a voltmeter, respectively.

If the current is 10 amperes in the main wire and 4 amperes in one of the branches how much current is in the other branch?
Six, Voltage is the same in a parallel circuit but current divides to total the sum of each branch. See Kirchoffs current law.
What must voltage be?
Voltage is a measure of the E.M.F (electromotive force) which drives current around a circuit.
Impedience of electric circuit?
The impedance of an electric circuit is the measure of the opposition presented by a circuit when the current and voltage is applied.
Impedance of electric circuit?
The impedance of electric circuit refers to the measure of the opposition that a circuit presents to a current when a voltage is applied.
How do you measure alternating current voltage and resistance?
You measure current by inserting an amp meter in series with the circuit or using a clamp-on meter to measure current by induction. You measure voltage with a volt meter across the supply. You measure resistance in ohms across the resistance. Luckily all these functions are in the same meter in most cases.
How do you measure the resistance in a parallel circuit?
You have to measure the voltage, and the current. The resistance is then calculated by using Ohm's Law.
What scale must a dmm have to measure current in a circuit?
ohms law babe voltage,current & resistance
What is the relationship among voltage circuit and resistance in a circuit?
Voltage = (current) x (resistance) Current = (voltage)/(resistance) Resistance = (voltage)/(current)
Would a multimeter connected in series as part of the circuit measure current or power consumption or voltage or wattage?
Current.
Can kirchoff's voltage law be used to determine voltage drop?
Yes. Kirchoff's Voltage Law states that the signed sum of the voltage drops going around a series circuit is zero. Thus, if you know all but one, you can figure it out. You simply add what you know up, and what is left is the last drop. Don't forget to be consistent in your use of signs. If, for instance, you show a voltage or current source as a voltage rise, then it must be considered to be a negative voltage drop. Or vice versa, as the case may be.
What measures the volume of electrons through a circuit?
Current measures the flow of electrons through a circuit and voltage basically measure the amount of available electrons.
What is kirchoff voltage law and kirchoff current law?
kirchoffs voltage law : the algebric sum of all voltage drop is equal to algebric sum of voltage risekirchoffs current law : algebric sum of all current entering at a node is equal to algebric sum of current leavingCommentIt's Kirchhoff, not 'Kirchoff'!
