  Kirchhoff's circuit laws - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kirchhoff's circuit laws are a pair of laws that deal with the conservation of charge and energy in electrical circuits, and were first described in 1845 by Gustav Kirchhoff.
Kirchhoff's current law is equivalent to the statement that the divergence of the current is zero, true for time-invariant ρ, or always true if the displacement current is included with J.
In order to "fix" Kirchhoff's voltage law for this case, an effective potential drop, or electromotive force (emf), is associated with the inductance of the circuit, exactly equal to the amount by which the line integral of the electric field is not zero by Faraday's law of induction.

 Gustav Kirchhoff
Kirchhoff and Bunsen began by effectively inventing the spectroscope, a prism-based device that separated light in its primary chromatic components, i.e., its spectrum, with which they began studying the spectral "signature" of various chemical elements in gaseous form.
Kirchhoff took the gigantic leap of then identifying the dark spectral lines observed in the solar spectrum, known since Joseph Fraunhofer's earlier work, with the emission lines observed by various heated chemical substances.
In this manner Kirchhoff (1) demonstrated the existence, in the Sun, of many chemical elements isolated on Earth, (2) argued that the bulk of the Sun is comprised of a hot, incandescent liquid, and (3) firmly established the hot, gaseous nature of the solar atmosphere.

Kirchhoff's circuit rules named after Gustav Robert Kirchhofft are two statements about multi-loop electric circuits that embody the laws of conservation of electric charge and energy and that are used to determine the value of the electric current in each branch of the circuit.
Kirchhoff joined this research when he suggested that the observation of spectral lines, by dispersing the light with a prism, would be a more precise way of testing the color of the light.

Kirchhoffs law(s), named after Gustav Robert Kirchhoff, is a term applied to two entirely different concepts.
Maxwells equations are the set of four equations, attributed to James Clerk Maxwell, that describe the behavior of both the electric and magnetic fields, as well as their interactions with matter.
More technically, Kirchhoff's current law can be found by taking the divergence of Ampere's law with Maxwell's correction and combining with Gauss's law, yielding: In vector calculus, the divergence is an operator that measures a vector fields tendency to originate from or converge upon a given point.

Four years later he was appointed professor of physics at Heidelberg, and in 1875 he was transferred to Berlin, where he died on the I7th of October 1887.
Kirchhoffs contributions to mathematical physics were numerous and important, his strength lying in his powers of stating a new physical problem in terms of maUiematics, not merely in working out the solution after it had been so formulated.
He can scarcely be called its inventor, for not only had many investigators already used the prism as an instrument of chemical inquiry, but considerable progress had been made towards the explanation of the principles upon which spectrum analysis rests.

 Kirchhoff Migration Project Propopsal 12/97
Kirchhoff migration of seismic data collected in simple regions is a fairly well understood method and the limitations of the method have been explored in considerable detail.
Given the widespread use of Kirchhoff migration by industry, it is worthwhile for a concerted effort to be made to develop and test improvements that will yield higher quality images in regions of complex geology.
While we plan to investigate methods to improve Kirchhoff imaging in complex geologies, we also propose to investigate using a hybrid scheme where Kirchhoff is used to extrapolate the wavefield through regions of simple geology and then the wavefield is migrated through more complex regions using other schemes.

Kirchhoff sees them as two originals, Tati the purveyor of a humorous but plainly dystopian critique of postwar modernism, Quatro the gender-bending, self-empowered rock pioneer.
Indeed, repeated viewing discloses that Kirchhoff (he's 44) has gathered a number of telling incidents from Tati's films, among them a Daliesque drooping faucet, a toppling barstool, a collapsing kayak and a deflating souffle.
