Q

Kirchoff’s Voltage Law

A

In a closed circuit loop (a circuit which current flows in a loop, uninterrupted), the total potential gain must equal the total potential drop . The sum of energy inputs (voltage from battery) must equal the sum of the energy outputs from loads in a closed circuit loop.

Therefore Vtotal = V1+V2+…Vn
