Potential Difference Flashcards
It is the act of passage of the current in which it passes through the positive terminal first and goes out through the negative terminal.
Voltage Drop
It is the act of passage of the current in which it passes through the negative terminal first and goes out through the positive terminal.
Voltage Rise
What will be the sign of the source (E) when the dominant current passes through the source with a + terminal first?
The source (E) will be positive
What will be the sign of the source (E) when the dominant current passes through the source with a - terminal first?
The source (E) will be negative
What law states that the sum of currents entering a node is equal to the sum of the currents leaving it?
Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL)
What law states that the sum of the voltage rises around any closed path (Loop) is equal to the sum of voltage drops around the same path?
Kirchoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
