characteristics I V plot is a universal means of describing a circuit element Kirchhoff s current law KCL states that the algebraic sum of all currents at any node in a circuit equals zero Comes from conservation of charge Kirchhoff s voltage law KVL states that the algebraic sum of all voltages around any closed path in a circuit equals zero Comes from conservation of potential energy EE100
