On the other hand, the voltage law relies on the fact that the actions of time-varying magnetic fields are confined to individual components, such as inductors. In reality, the induced electric field produced by an inductor is not confined, but the leaked fields are often negligible.

is the product of current and the time the current has been flowing. If the net charge in a region is constant, the current law will hold on the boundaries of the region. This means that the current law relies on the fact that the net charge in the wires and components is constant.

In the low-frequency limit, the voltage drop around any loop is zero. This includes imaginary loops arranged arbitrarily in space – not limited to the loops delineated by the circuit elements and conductors. In the low-frequency limit, this is a corollary of

Consider some arbitrary circuit. Approximate the circuit with lumped elements, so that time-varying magnetic fields are contained to each component and the field in the region exterior to the circuit is negligible. Based on this assumption, the

The lumped element approximation for a circuit is accurate at low frequencies. At higher frequencies, leaked fluxes and varying charge densities in conductors become significant. To an extent, it is possible to still model such circuits using

The current law is dependent on the assumption that the net charge in any wire, junction or lumped component is constant. Whenever the electric field between parts of the circuit is non-negligible, such as when two wires are

The current law is applicable to any lumped network irrespective of the nature of the network; whether unilateral or bilateral, active or passive, linear or non-linear.

Recalling that current is a signed (positive or negative) quantity reflecting direction towards or away from a node, this principle can be succinctly stated as:
749: 729: 666:{\displaystyle \sum _{i}V_{i}=-\sum _{i}\int _{{\mathcal {P}}_{i}}\mathbf {E} \cdot \mathrm {d} \mathbf {l} =\oint \mathbf {E} \cdot \mathrm {d} \mathbf {l} =0} 898: 916: 1036: 890:, this may not be the case. This occurs in high-frequency AC circuits, where the lumped element model is no longer applicable. For example, in a 2076:{\displaystyle {\begin{cases}i_{1}={\frac {1}{1100}}{\text{A}}\\i_{2}={\frac {4}{275}}{\text{A}}\\i_{3}=-{\frac {3}{220}}{\text{A}}\end{cases}}} 147: 901:
In a transmission line, the net charge in different parts of the conductor changes with time. In the direct physical sense, this violates KCL.
