Kirchoff's voltage law (view source)
Revision as of 21:23, October 30, 2009
, 21:23, October 30, 2009Adding "see also" KCL
KVL is derived from the fact that the voltage at any point in the circuit must have one single value. For example, say you start at point A and travel around the loop adding up voltages along the way. If the voltage drops did not sum to zero, then when you returned to point A it would have a different voltage than when you started, which is impossible.<ref name="Schwarz" />
