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.

Transcribed Image Text:The image presents an electrical circuit diagram featuring resistors arranged in a combination of series and parallel connections.
**Description of the Circuit:**
- The circuit begins at point \( a \).
- Two resistors, 12.0 Ω and 6.0 Ω, are connected in parallel.
- These parallel resistors lead to a 5.0 Ω resistor, which is in series with them.
- After the 5.0 Ω resistor, there is another pair of resistors, 4.0 Ω and 8.0 Ω, connected in parallel.
- Finally, the circuit ends at point \( b \).
This configuration demonstrates a mixed series-parallel circuit, useful for understanding the calculation of equivalent resistance in complex circuits.
