Question

How would the answers change if the assumed directions of the currents used in solving the problem were all reversed in the figure above, but you followed the circuit paths in the same way to write down the equations based on Kirchhoff's rules? (Select all that apply.)

a)The sign of each current-times-resistance term would reverse.

b)The sign used for the voltage across the battery would reverse.

c)The sign of the resistances would reverse.

d)The signs of the currents after solving would reverse.

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

for a KVL loop ,

if we go in the oposite direction

as the direction of loop will be oposite to the dircetion of current ( if before we were moving in the direction of current)

a)The sign of each current-times-resistance term would reverse.
b)The sign used for the voltage across the battery would reverse.
