Q110 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 2) · Physics

For the circuit given below, the Kirchhoff's loop rule for the loop BCDEB is given by the equation

Figure

  • A
    -i2R2+E2-E3+i3R1=0
  • Correct answer
    B
    i2R2+E2-E3-i3R1=0
  • C
    i2R2+E2+E3+i3R1=0
  • D
    -i2R2+E2+E3+i3R1=0

Solution

Kirchhoff's second law, also known as the Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL). By Kirchhoff's voltage law the algebraic sum of all the EMF's and potential difference across each resistor is equal to zero it means, in the above circuit, 

-I2R2-E2+E3+I3R1=0 ⇒I2R2+E2-E3-I3R1=0.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
