21. Mathematically, Kirchhoffβs Voltage law can be ________
A. β_(k=0)n(V) = 0
B. V2β_(k=0)n(V) = 0
C. Vβ_(k=0)n(V) = 0
D. None of the mentioned
Answer: A
According to KVL, the sum of all voltages of branches in a closed loop is zero.
Kirchhoff’s voltage law is based on the principle of conservation of energy. This requires that the total work done in taking a unit positive charge around a closed path and ending up at the original point is zero.
22. Find the value of v if v1 = 20V and the value of the current source is 6A.
A. 10V
B. 12V
C. 14V
D. 16V
Answer: B. 12 V
The current through the 10 ohm resistor = v1/10 = 2A.
Applying KCL at node 1:
i5 = i10+i2. i2 = 6-2 = 4A.
Thus the drop in the 2 ohm resistor = 4 Γ 2 = 8V.
24. Calculate the current A by using Kirchhoff’s current law
A. 5A
B. 10A
C. 15A
D. 20A
Answer: C
KCl states that the total current leaving the junction is equal to the current entering it. In this case, the current entering the junction is 5A+10A = 15A.
25. In the figure shown, the current π (in ampere) is __________
