According to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, the algebraic sum of all potential differences around any closed loop is
AEqual to the largest voltage in the loop
BEqual to the sum of resistive drops only
CZero
DAlways positive
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Zero
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law states that the algebraic sum of emfs and potential drops around a closed loop is zero.
This expresses conservation of energy in an electric circuit.
