Kirchhoff Laws of Electrical Circuits
This live PDH webinar is on the two fundamental laws of electrical circuits known as Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL), collectively known as Kirchhoff’s Circuit Laws. Stated in 1845 by the physicist Gustav Kirchhoff, these two laws along with Ohm’s Law form the cornerstones of the electrical network theory.
This webinar, through slides, discussions and several well-chosen examples, explains the two Kirchhoff circuit laws and shows how they can be applied in conjunction with Ohm’s Law to determine the voltages across and currents through elements of electrical circuitry. These laws are general and apply to both DC and AC circuits. Examples of application to both types of circuits are given along with a comprehensive, step by step solution of each. A quick review of Ohm’s Law is provided as well.
From my years of experience in teaching electrical networking, I have come to identify the aspects of application of these laws that students have found to be somewhat challenging as they are first introduced to the subject. In this webinar, my emphasis is on correct application of the laws to problem solving and avoidance of the most common pitfalls.
This 1 PDH live webinar is intended for anyone who is interested in learning about the most basic fundamentals of electrical networking theory and would serve as an excellent starting point for future more advanced study of the subject of electrical networks.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with specific knowledge and skills needed to:
- Understanding the most fundamental laws of electrical circuits, namely KVL, KCL and Ohm’s Law
- Learning how to apply KVL, KCL and Ohm’s Law in analyzing AC and DC circuits
- Learning how to find voltages and currents of resistors in DC circuits
- Learning how to find voltages and currents of impedance elements in AC circuits

Once you have decided on a webinar or multiple webinars, click on “Add to Cart”. At this point, you will need to log in to your account, or register if you don’t have one yet, to complete your purchase. (The Log in/Register links are located at the top right corner of the computer screen.) Following purchase, you will immediately receive two emails: one confirming your registration with a receipt of webinar purchase and the other providing you with instructions on webinar access and completion. Subsequently, you will also receive reminder emails with the same instructions 24 hours as well as 2 hours prior to your scheduled webinar. You can also download these instructions from your account at anytime.
We recommend that you register for any webinar ahead of time, although you can still register online up to the start time of the webinar. If you need any assistance with last minute webinar registrations, please contact us at 877-322-5800.
From the webinar access and completion instructions that you receive, you will be provided with a link to access the webinar platform from your computer to view the pesentation as well as listen to and interact with the instructor. Therefore, to get connected, you will need a computer with high-speed internet as well as microphone and speaker capabilities. We recommend using a headset connected to your computer for enhanced audio quality.
Alternatively, if your computer is not equipped with a microphone and speakers, you need to dial in using a phone line. From the webinar access and completion instructions, you will be also provided with a dial-in number to join the webinar and listen in. Furthermore, you will be provided with a link to download the webinar handout, or you can download it directly from you account, in the event you are unable to view the webinar on your computer screen.
Regardless of the connection method used, you will have the opportunity to interact with the instructor at the appropriate times either way. We recommend that you connect to the webinar approximately 10 to 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
Following attending the webinar, you need to return to the CEDengineering.com website and log in to your account to complete and submit the feedback form. Once submitted, we will email you your Certificate of Completion. You can also download it instantly, or at anytime, from your account where all your PDH records are kept for your convenience at all times.
CEDengineering.com live interactive webinars are accepted for PDH or CEU credit by all State Licensing Boards (including IA, NE, OH and WI) mandating continuing professional competency, as they are prepared in compliance with the requirements of all State Licensing Boards. For additional details, please refer to your State Requirements.
Our PDH or CEU accredited webinars are developed and conducted by subject matter experts experienced in their field of practice. Our webinars are designed as live interactive web-conferences allowing you the opportunity to fully interact with the instructor at any time during the webinar from the convenience of your home, office or anywhere using your computer or mobile device.
If you register but cannot attend due to unforeseen circumstances, you must notify us in writing of your cancellation 72 hours in advance of the scheduled webinar date. You may reschedule to the same webinar or exchange it with another webinar of equal value, or you may request a refund provided that you notify us 72 hours in advance of the scheduled webinar date; otherwise, you will not be eligible for either a refund or an exchange. Whether you select to reschedule or exchange a webinar, you may do so only once.
If you cancel in less than 72 hours of the scheduled webinar date, you must notify us in writing 24 hours in advance prior to the webinar scheduled date. In this case, you will not be eligible for a refund, but you may reschedule to the same webinar or exchange it with another webinar of equal value provided that you notify us 24 hours in advance prior to the scheduled webinar date; otherwise, you will not be eligible for an exchange. Whether you select to reschedule or exchange a webinar, you may do so only once.
If you cancel in less than 24 hours of the scheduled webinar date, you will not be eligible for either a refund or an exchange.
