**Problem 1**: is a review of your understanding of KVL (Kirchhoff’s voltage law). Using Kirchhoff’s voltage law, determine voltages \( V_{ab} \) in the given circuit. **Circuit Description**: - The circuit consists of a series of voltage sources arranged in a loop. - Starting from node \( a \), the components are connected in the following order: - A voltage source with a value of \(-12 \, \text{V}\). - A voltage source of \(+5 \, \text{V}\). - A voltage source of \(-8 \, \text{V}\). - A vertical branch with a \(+6 \, \text{V}\) voltage source connected to the horizontal path. The path then drops down to node \( b \) with a voltage source of \(-12 \, \text{V}\) before returning to node \( a \). Using Kirchhoff’s voltage law, which states that the sum of the potential differences (voltage) around any closed loop or mesh in a circuit is zero, calculate the voltage \( V_{ab} \).
