I. Critical Thinking: Solve the following problems and show your COMPLETE solution. 1. Resistors in Series and Parallel Find the equivalent resistance of the network of resistors shown below. This network is usually referred to as resistor ladder. What current will flow through the circuit when connected to a 120 V DC supply? 12 N S20 N 10n 17 0 7Ω 8 0 11 N
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.
