Note about the spelling: Kirchhoff has a double "f". Basically, Kirhhoff's Laws are valid under a wide variety of situations. Specifically, you can use them in both parallel and series circuits, and in more complicated cases (such as multiple current loops). In the case of parallel circuits:
- Kirchhoff's Voltage Law tells us that the voltage between the two endpoints is the same, no matter what route is taken.
- Kirchhoff's Current Law tells us that the sum of the currents in the different branches must be equal to the total current before (or after) the parallel branching.
About the question, "why use these laws?" - basically, because they help us figure out the circuit.
What else can I help you with?
What circuit would you use if you were building a house?
A parallel circuit
How do you use series circuit in a sentence?
This project will require a parallel circuit, not a series circuit.
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Which type of circuit the parallel circuit are use?
they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.
Would you use Series or parallel circuit for Christmas lights?
Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.
What type of circuit lets you use only one light at a time?
a parallel circuit
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel.
Do modern homes use electricity that is arranged in series or in parallel circuits?
In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools. However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.
Is parallel circuit connection more practical to use?
yes it is
What can you use a parallel circuit for?
Christmas tree lights, this parallel circuit prevents one bulb failure from turning off the whole string of lights.
