Gustav Robert Kirchhoff Books
March 12, 1824 – October 17, 1887
Gustav Kirchhoff was a German physicist whose work fundamentally shaped our understanding of electricity and light. He formulated laws describing the behavior of electrical circuits that remain foundational to the field today. His research into the radiation of heated objects and spectral analysis led to new insights into the composition of light and atoms. Collaborating with Robert Bunsen, he discovered new elements, laying the groundwork for modern spectroscopy.
