voltmeter and a resistor are connected in a parallel circuit with a 10V DC supply across the resistor. Suppose that there are 5 tests with different values per resistor and given that the five different values are 10Ω, 20Ω, 30Ω, 40Ω and 50Ω, what is the voltmeter reading for each test
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.
