Kirchhoff's Loop Rule in a Series Circuit
A 12 V battery with an internal resistance of 0.5 Ω is connected in a series circuit with three resistors of 2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 4 Ω. If Kirchhoff’s loop rule is applied by traversing the circuit in the clockwise direction, which of the following equations correctly describes the potential differences?
A
12V - 0.5I - 2I - 3I + 4I = 0
B
12V - 0.5I - 2I - 3I - 4I = 0
C
12V + 0.5I - 2I - 3I - 4I = 0
D
-12V - 0.5I - 2I - 3I - 4I = 0
