Answer to Problem 40PE
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given figure is
Concept Introduction:
Kirchhoff's second rule states that in a closed loop the sum of all the voltages is equal to zero.
Kirchhoff's second rule states that in a closed loop the sum of all the voltages is equal to zero.
Kirchhoff's second rule is also known as Kirchhoff's voltage law.
It states that all the energy is conserved.
Apply Kirchhoff's loop rule to loop
