Homework Statement
Find Vad and Veb
Homework Equations
voltage drop, KVL
The Attempt at a Solution
I actually did:
Vad
-24V - 4V + 6V
= -22V
but this is wrong.I know going the other way
Vad: 6V + 8V + 12V
= 26V,
because it is only drop, and plus to minus on drops means they are always positive
and it's the correct answer.But it seems for Vab the real correct way counting the sources was
Vad: 24V -4V + 6V
= 26VI thought it was different for voltage sources and sign orientation?So when the drop direction is plus to minus (+ to -), the voltage drop is always positive, for both sources AND given sign convention?
Sorry for asking this now. KCL is much easier.
Veb would be
8V - 6V + 24V
= 10V
