Question

If a single-loop circuit has voltage drops of $2\,	ext{V}$, $3\,	ext{V}$, and $5\,	ext{V}$ across its elements, then the source voltage required by Kirchhoff's Voltage Law is:

Accepted Answer

C. $10\,	ext{V}$

By KVL, total rises equal total drops in a closed loop. The total drop is $2+3+5=10\,	ext{V}$, so the source must supply $10\,	ext{V}$.

Answer

$5\,	ext{V}$

Answer

$8\,	ext{V}$

Answer

$15\,	ext{V}$

If a single-loop circuit has voltage drops of $2\,\text{V}$, $3\,\text{V}$, and $5\,\text{V}$ across its elements, then the source voltage required by Kirchhoff's Voltage Law is:
