In addition to
Kirchhoff’s Volt Law, there is Kirchhoff’s
junction law; this law centers on
the fact the summation of the current
going in a junction equals the summation
of the current going out of a junction.
The importance of this law, as well, as
the previous law, resides in the fact
they are crucial when analyzing closed
circuits. In fact, they are the starting
point for analysis of any circuit.
Limitations of this law occur where
charge density is not constant. This can
occur when lightning hits a structure
without a lightning rod. While most
structures are equipped with potential
routes for lightning to follow,
structures that are not equipped are in
for significant damage. Damage can range
from blown circuits to structural
fires.
