Verification of Kirchhoff’s Current Law KCL in a Simple Resistive Circuit

00:51:24

This circuit is designed to verify Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL), which states that:

The total current entering a junction is equal to the total current leaving the junction.


In this circuit, a 1 V DC voltage source is connected to two resistors in parallel:
 R1 = 10kΩ
 R2 = 4.7kΩ

The current from the source (𝐼𝑆) splits at the junction into two branches:
 I1 = 100μA, flows through R1
 I2 = 213μA, flows through R2

According to KCL:
 I𝑆 = I1 + I2
 
 ​
Substituting the values:
 313 μA ≈ 100μA + 213μA
