In the following circuit a 36 V battery is connected to a 3 Ohm resistor connected in series to a 5 Ohm resistor which in turn is connected to a 6 Ohm resistor in parallel with a 12 Ohm Resistor. Find the currents going through each of the resistors. What is the total power delivered by the battery?
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.
