Which law states that in closed electric circuit, the applied voltage is equal to the sum of the voltage drops?

Multiple Choice Question (MCQ)

Question: Which law states that in closed electric circuit, the applied voltage is equal to the sum of the voltage drops?

A. Ohm's law

B. Laws of resistance

C. Kirchhoff's first law

D. Kirchhoff's second law

Correct Answer: Kirchhoff's second law

Explanation

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law or Kirchhoff's Second Law states that “in any closed loop network, the total voltage around the loop is equal to the sum of all the voltage drops within the same loop” which is also equal to zero.
