KCL & KVL in AC Circuits | Network Theory (Electric Circuits) - Electrical Engineering (EE) PDF Download

For KVL, let v1, v2, …, vn be the voltages around a close loop. Then

v1 + v2 + ... + vn = 0    .....(1)

In the sinusoidal steady-state, each voltage may be written in cosine form, so that Equation.(1) becomes

Vm1 cos(ωt + θ1) + Vm2 cos (ωt + θ2) + ... + Vmn cos(ωt + θn) = 0     .....(2)

This can be written as

If we let Vk = Vmkejθk, then

Re[(V+ V2 + ... + Vn) ejωt] = 0    .....(4)

Since ejωt ≠ 0,

V1 + V2 + .... + Vn = 0     .....(5)

indicating that Kirchhoff’s voltage law holds for phasors.

By following a similar procedure, we can show that Kirchhoff’s current law holds for phasors. If we let i1, i2, …,in be the current leaving or entering a closed surface in a network at time t, then

i1 + i2 + ... + in = 0     .....(6)

If I1, I2, …., In are the phasor forms of the sinusoids i1, i2, …,in, then

I+ I+ ... + In = 0     .....(7)

which is Kirchhoff’s current law in the frequency domain.
Once we have shown that both KVL and KCL hold in the frequency domain, it is easy to do many things, such as impedance combination, nodal and mesh analyses, superposition, and source transformation.
