State Kirchhoff's rules. Explain briefly how these rules are justified.


Kirchhoff’s First Law or Junction Rule states -'The sum of the currents flowing towards a junction is equal to the sum of currents leaving the junction.'

This is in accordance with the conservation of charge which is the basis of Kirchhoff’s current rule. 



Here, I1I2 I3, and I4 are the currents flowing through the respective wires.

Convention: The current flowing towards the junction is taken as positive and the current flowing away from the junction is taken as negative. 

I3 + (− I1) + (− I2) + (− I4) = 0 

Kirchhoff’s Second Law or Loop Rule states that In a closed loop, the algebraic sum of the emfs is equal to the algebraic sum of the products of the resistances and the currents flowing through them. 

 OR

'The algebraic sum of all the potential drops and emfs along any closed path in a network is zero.'



For the closed loop BACB:

E1 − E2 = I1R1 + I2R2 − I3R3

For the closed loop CADC:

E2 = I3R3 + I4R4 + I5R5

This law is based on the law of conservation of energy.

A capacitor 'C', a variable resistor 'R' and a bulb 'B' are connected in series to the ac mains in circuit as shown. The bulb glows with some brightness. How will the glow of the bulb change if (i) a dielectric slab is introduced between the plates of the capacitor, keeping resistance R to be the same; (ii) the resistance R is increased keeping the same capacitance?
