Kirchhoff’s Law Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) imposes constraints on the currents in the branches that are attached to each node of a circuit. In simplest terms‚ KCL states that the sum of the currents that are entering a given node must equal the sum of the currents that are leaving the node. Thus‚ the set of currents in branches attached to a given node can be partitioned into two groups whose orientation is away from (into) the node. The two groups must contain the same net current.
