Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) Example Problem #1

This tutorial goes over an example that uses Kirchhoff’s voltage Law (KVL) to confirm the voltage drops found in a circuit using Ohm’s law, and the principles of series and parallel resistors. KVL can be a nice method to verify that we’ve done other kinds of circuit analysis correctly. In this particular KVL example problem, we are analyze a circuit with some parallel resistors.

This video is part of a full free course on electric circuits. The course covers DC circuits, circuit laws, current & voltage sources, series & parallel resistors, nodal analysis, mesh analysis, and AC circuits.

Thanks for watching, I hope it helps!

i have doubt on equation. Current & voltage travelling from voltage -ve terminal to +terminal, When voltage passes from -ve to +ve terminal there is potential rise. So we need to consider +sign for the voltage. Correct me if am wrong.

Hi! I discovered your site a year ago. Great content and great book recommendation! So, I started to study Physics at my classes (it's a weird type of physics based on calculus, we have studied about Stoke Amperes Theorem and vectors, etc.). I would really appreciate if you can recommend me a good book with detailed explanations about these topics (this kind of physics). I am really bad at physics :)). Thank you so much!
