The first law of Kirchoff, also known as Kirchoff's current law, states that the total current entering a junction in a circuit is equal to the total current leaving the junction.
The second law of Kirchoff, also known as Kirchoff's voltage law, states that the sum of the electromotive forces (EMFs) in any closed loop in a circuit is equal to the sum of the voltage drops in that loop.

First Law of Kirchhoff (Kirchhoff's Current Law, KCL):
The algebraic sum of the currents entering a junction (node) is equal to the algebraic sum of the currents leaving the junction.
Second Law of Kirchhoff (Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, KVL):
The algebraic sum of the potential differences (voltages) around any closed loop in a circuit is equal to zero.
