Kirchhoff Laws of Electrical Circuits
This engineering online CPD live webinar is on the two fundamental laws of electrical circuits known as Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL), collectively known as Kirchhoff’s Circuit Laws. Stated in 1845 by the physicist Gustav Kirchhoff, these two laws along with Ohm’s Law form the cornerstones of the electrical network theory.
This webinar, through slides, discussions and several well-chosen examples, explains the two Kirchhoff circuit laws and shows how they can be applied in conjunction with Ohm’s Law to determine the voltages across and currents through elements of electrical circuitry. These laws are general and apply to both DC and AC circuits. Examples of application to both types of circuits are given along with a comprehensive, step by step solution of each. A quick review of Ohm’s Law is provided as well.
From my years of experience in teaching electrical networking, I have come to identify the aspects of application of these laws that students have found to be somewhat challenging as they are first introduced to the subject. In this webinar, my emphasis is on correct application of the laws to problem solving and avoidance of the most common pitfalls.
This 1 PDH live webinar is intended for anyone who is interested in learning about the most basic fundamentals of electrical networking theory and would serve as an excellent starting point for future more advanced study of the subject of electrical networks.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with specific knowledge and skills needed to:
- Understanding the most fundamental laws of electrical circuits, namely KVL, KCL and Ohm’s Law
- Learning how to apply KVL, KCL and Ohm’s Law in analyzing AC and DC circuits
- Learning how to find voltages and currents of resistors in DC circuits
- Learning how to find voltages and currents of impedance elements in AC circuits

Our PDH or CEU accredited webinars are developed and conducted by subject matter experts experienced in their field of practice. Our webinars are designed as live interactive web-conferences allowing you the opportunity to fully interact with the instructor at any time during the webinar from the convenience of your home, office or anywhere using your computer or mobile device.
If you register but cannot attend due to unforeseen circumstances, you must notify us in writing of your cancellation 72 hours in advance of the scheduled webinar date. You may reschedule to the same webinar or exchange it with another webinar of equal value, or you may request a refund provided that you notify us 72 hours in advance of the scheduled webinar date; otherwise, you will not be eligible for either a refund or an exchange. Whether you select to reschedule or exchange a webinar, you may do so only once.
If you cancel in less than 72 hours of the scheduled webinar date, you must notify us in writing 24 hours in advance prior to the webinar scheduled date. In this case, you will not be eligible for a refund, but you may reschedule to the same webinar or exchange it with another webinar of equal value provided that you notify us 24 hours in advance prior to the scheduled webinar date; otherwise, you will not be eligible for an exchange. Whether you select to reschedule or exchange a webinar, you may do so only once.
If you cancel in less than 24 hours of the scheduled webinar date, you will not be eligible for either a refund or an exchange.
If you have seven (7) or more engineers interested in attending the same webinar, we encourage you to enroll in our Group Webinar Program and purchase the one of interest to maximize your savings. Our webinars cover a variety of engineering and ethical topics and are presented by subject matter experts distinguished by their many years of practical engineering experience and academic standings.
