Kirchhoff's Voltage law

Kirchhoff’s second law “in any closed circuit or mesh, the algebraic sum of all the electromotive forces and the voltage drops is equal to zero”

That means Algebraic sum of e.m.f.s+ Algebraic sum of voltage drops=0

Sign of e.m.fs and voltage drops: while applying Kirchhoff’s second law to a closed circuit, algebraic sums are considered. Therefore, it is very important to assign proper signs to e.m.fs and voltage drop in the closed circuit .for this I give here a short trick

1. The sign of e.m.f. is independent of the direction of current through that branch.
If current through an element of a circuit we take the positive sign if the current entering this element and took the negative if current exit from this element.

  1. Your mode of ехplaining all іn this аrticle is reallу good, every one be caρаble οf without difficulty κnow it, Thаnks а lot.
