We want to determine the current i, and its direction in the circuit diagram shown below, by the using the Kirchhoff's loop law. Which of the following is the correct equation for the algebraic sum of the voltages around the loop?

Answer

(6.0V) - (18?)(i2) - (3.0V) = 0

- (6.0V) - (18?)(i) - (3.0V) = 0

  (6.0V) - (18?)(i) - (3.0V) = 0

(6.0V) + (18?)(i) + (3.0V) = 0

- (6.0V) - (18?)(i2) + (3.0V) = 0
