Does when why increase source voltage tu compensate losses why also increase voltage drop?.
It seems to me torbor is asking the 'why' behind Kirchoff's Voltage law.
The answer comes from the reasoning we learned in grade schoool geometry class - "two things that are equal to the same thing are equal to each other."
Both Vs
ource and Vl
oad are equal to Vobserved , so they must be equal to each other.

Here's how to work Kirchoff's Voltage Law
Imagine yourself very small and walking inside the circuit around the path i drew in red.
Write down each voltage you encounter along the way, with its sign which is the first one you meet. There's no voltage drop along wires so just keep walking until you encounter the next component with voltage.
Walking the path starting at lower left corner, up, over and down to lower right corner, I get
-Vs +Vl
When you get back to where you started write down "= 0" . Then look at what you wrote.
-Vs + Vl = 0
That is Kirchoff's Voltage Equation for the circuit above.
You will find it is
always true. That's why it's a law.
Re-arranging it gives Vl = Vs .
That i think is the answer to your question.
You MUST teach yourself this discipline of walking the circuit and writing Kirchoff's Voltage Law every time..
It will become intuitive, as it has for everyone who's tried to answer your question before me.
When it does "click" with you, you will soon be unable to remember when it didn't seem as natural as tying your shoe.
Just form the habit. We all had to .
