[QUOTE="ckboii89, post: 4542371, member: 362824"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] If KVL was not true, would our definition of Voltage still make sense? Clearly explain and prove your answer [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] KVL definition Voltage definition [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I said no, because if KVL were not true, then definition of voltage would not make sense. By the law of energy conservation, Energy input = energy output( i may be wrong? but intuitive to me, since a circuit is a closed system). Since voltage by definition is the energy required to move 1C of charge from 1 node to another. The sum of voltages in a closed system must equal 0, since a system cannot have excess energy, as it must be either used,stored or dissipated Thoughts guys? Proff made this question, and I've never come across a theoretical question like this in a engineering course [/QUOTE]
