Why is kirchoff's law not applicable to ac current

Question

anonymous · Answer

it is applicable to ac current :P

anonymous · Answer

its not applicable only when you have an inductor in the circuit.. or in general you have a CHANGING magnetic field.. in that case you go for faraday's law..!!

AC Produces Variable Voltage

anonymous · Answer

I think we can well use the ac circuit for resistances, but when phasor concept is to be used the algebraic rules does not hold good

anonymous · Answer

Excuse me but Kirchoff's Rules do apply to AC circuits.  Check any circuit analysis text. You must use Phasors or Sinors in the equations.

anonymous · Answer

The Sinor or Phasor formalism is equivalent to a vector formalism and keeps track of the magnitude and phases of the voltages and currents in the circuit.  It is actually a complex number representation of the voltages currents and impedances in the circuit.
