Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Analyzing Circuit Voltages Using Loop Analysis**
**Introduction**
In this educational module, we'll explore how to determine the voltage across resistors in a given circuit using loop analysis. The circuit features two voltage sources and a series of interconnected resistors.
**Circuit Description**
The circuit consists of the following elements:
- **Voltage Sources**:
- V1: 12 Vdc
- V2: 25 Vdc
- **Resistors**:
- R1: 1 kΩ
- R2: 3 kΩ
- R3: 4 kΩ
- R4: 1 kΩ
- R5: 2 kΩ
- R6: 500 Ω
**Circuit Layout**
- V1 (12 Vdc) is connected in series with three resistors: R1 (1 kΩ), R2 (3 kΩ), and R3 (4 kΩ).
- V2 (25 Vdc) is connected to R1 and branches off into another path through R4 (1 kΩ) and R5 (2 kΩ) that converge back into the main loop.
- R6 (500 Ω) is connected in parallel to the above branch.
**Objective**
Our goal is to use loop analysis (also known as mesh analysis) to calculate the voltage drop across each resistor in the circuit.
**Procedure**
1. **Identify and Define Loops**: Begin by identifying the independent loops within the circuit. Loops are closed paths that do not enclose other loops.
2. **Apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)**: Write the KVL equation for each loop. According to KVL, the sum of the voltages around any closed loop in a circuit must equal zero.
3. **Formulate Equations**: Solve the system of equations derived from KVL to find the current through each loop.
4. **Calculate Voltage Drops**: Use the current values to compute the voltage drop across each resistor using Ohm's Law (V = IR).
**Conclusion**
Analyzing complex circuits using loop analysis provides valuable insight into the behavior of electrical components and systems. This method allows for the effective calculation of voltage and current in multiple-loop circuits, facilitating deeper understanding and design optimization in electronic applications.
