This is probably too broad of a topic but what is Kirchhoff’s law? I tried reading up on it but even the wiki page went over my head.

So there are two kirchoff laws. The current law and the voltage law.

* Kirchoff’s Current Law, means that the sum of all currents at a node is zero. That includes current that’s “coming in” and “going out”
* Essentially, you could remember this as “What (current) goes in must come out.”
* Kirchoff’s Voltage Law, means that the sum of the voltages in a **closed** circuit is zero. Note the word closed.
* Essentially, you could remember this as “What (Voltage) goes up must come down”
