"are only applicable when the circuit is in steady state" is not correct or consistent with the Wiki Page on Kirchhoff's circuit laws.

Line 19:
3. Signal timescales of interest are much larger than propagation delay of [[electromagnetic waves]] across the lumped element.
 
The first two assumptions result in [[Kirchhoff's circuit laws]] when applied to [[Maxwell's equations]] and are only applicable for DC circuits and for AC circuits at frequencies wherewhen the wavelengthscircuit ofis electromagneticin radiation[[steady arestate very(electronics)|steady largestate]]. compared to the circuits. The third assumption is the basis of the lumped element model used in [[Network analysis (electrical circuits)|network analysis]]. Less severe assumptions result in the [[distributed element model]], while still not requiring the direct application of the full Maxwell equations.
