Sign Conventions for the Applications of Kirchhoff’s Law…

Sign Conventions for the Applications of Kirchhoff’s Law – For the application of Kirchhoff’s laws, following sign conventions are to be considered:
(i) The change in potential in traversing a resistance in the direction of current is – IR while in the opposite direction is + IR.
(ii) The change in voltage in traversing an inductor in the direction of current is -LdI/dt while in opposite direction it is + Ldi/dt
