Three batteries and three resistors are shown in the circuit below. How much current flows through each battery? If you get a minus sign for one or more currents, then that means the direction of the current you initially picked is wrong and the current actually points in the opposite direction.
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.
