A charge moves through an electric potential difference of $\Delta V$. What is the change in electric potential energy, $\Delta U_{\mathrm{E}}$, experienced by the charge?

In a two-loop circuit, the potential rises in the first loop is 20V and the potential drops are due to a 4$\Omega$ and a 6$\Omega$ resistor. In the second loop, there is a 5V battery and three resistors with 2$\Omega$, 4$\Omega$ and 8$\Omeg...

Consider a two-loop circuit with two batteries and three resistors. After applying Kirchhoff's Loop Rule and the Junction Rule, you obtain the following system of equations:

$I_1 = I_2 + I_3$ 10 - 2I_1 - 4I_2 = 0 $-4I_2 + 5 - 3I_3 = 0$

What fundamental principle underlies Kirchhoff's Loop Rule?

A circuit consists of a 12V battery connected in series with a 4Ω resistor and a 2Ω resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 4Ω resistor?

Consider a complex multi-loop circuit. After applying both the Loop and Junction rules, you arrive at the following system of equations:

$I_1 = I_2 + I_3$ 12 - 4I_1 - 2I_2 = 0 6 - 3I_3 + 2I_2 = 0

Solve for $I_1$, $I_2$, and $I_3$.
