KVL and KCL
KVL stands for Kirchhoff voltage law. KVL states that the total voltage drops around the loop in any closed electric circuit is equal to the sum of total voltage drop in the same closed loop.
Sign Convention
Science and technology incorporate some ideas and techniques of their own to understand a system skilfully and easily. These techniques are called conventions. For example: Sign conventions of mirrors are used to understand the phenomenon of reflection and refraction in an easier way.

EXAMPLE 2-5
Given i = +4 A, i=+1 A, 4+2 A in the circuit shown in Figure 2-11, find i2 and is.
SOLUTION:
Using the node A constraint in Eq. (2-8) yields
-1₁-2=-(+4)-iz=0
The sign outside the parentheses comes from the node A KCL connection constraint
in Eq. (2-8). The sign inside the parentheses comes from the actual direction of the
current. Solving this equation for the unknown current, we find that i = -4 A. In this
case, the minus sign indicates that the actual direction of the current 2 is directed
upward in Figure 2-11, which is opposite to the reference direction assigned. Using
the second KCL equation in Eq. (2-8), we can write
in-is-i +i5-(+4)-(+1)-(+2) -=0
which yields the result is = -1 A.
Again, the signs inside the parentheses are associated with the actual direction of
the current, and the signs outside come from the node B KCL connection constraint
in Eq. (2-8). The minus sign in the final answer means that the current is is directed in
the opposite direction from its assigned reference direction. We can check our work
by substituting the values found into the node C constraint in Eq. (2-8). These sub-
stitutions yield
+12+13+14-15=(-4)-(-1)+(+2)-(-1)=0
as required by KCL. Given three currents, we determined all the remaining currents
in the circuit using only KCL without knowing the element constraints.
