Common mistakes in Kirchhoff's laws and their applications

Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.

  • Adds all branch currents without applying current conservation.
  • Uses only one resistor when summing potential drops around the loop.
  • Uses the same sign for resistor drops regardless of traversal direction.
  • Treats a negative current as physically impossible rather than a direction result.
