Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

The potential difference (VA−VB)(V_A - V_B) between the points A and B in the given part of the circuit

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Walk from A to B along the current I=3 AI = 3\text{ A}; drops are IRIR in resistors and EE going from + to − of the cell.
  2. VA−3(4)−5−3(2)=VBV_A - 3(4) - 5 - 3(2) = V_B
  3. VA−VB=12+5+6=23 VV_A - V_B = 12 + 5 + 6 = 23\text{ V}
  4. So the answer is (d) 23 V.
