Kirchhoff's rules???

Question

Do Kirchoff's Rules apply in a circuit containing a capacitor? Explain... thanks...

Answer 1

if you remind me of the rule maybe i can help you as i took AP physics this year and this sounds familiar.

Answer 2

Yes.

The current through the capacitor will be a function of time, or of frequency if you transform the time-domain to the frequency domain via a Fourier or LaPlace transform.

If you are *only* dealing with DC steady-state analysis, then the current through a capacitor = 0, so in that sense KCL does not apply.
