Electric Potential and Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law

1. ABCDE is a pentagon. If the potential at A is 12 V, potential at B is 15 V, potential at C is -11 V, at E it is

-17 V and at D the potential is not known. What is the potential drop when you move from B to E?

2. A, B, C and D are four points in space and it is known that: VAB = 8 V , VBD = -9 V , VCA =13 V and
the potential at A = VA = -5 V . Using this information find the potential VD at D.

3. The potential drop when you go from B to D to E to A is equal to 23 Volts. The potential at D
is 7 Volts and at E is 11 Volts. If the potential at F is 8 Volts, find the potential drop when you
go from B to F to A.

4. Given VABCD = 17 Volts and VA = 6 Volts and VC = -8 Volts , find VB and VD .

5. If VABC = 12 Volts and VCD = 7 Volts, what is VDA ?

6. The diagram shows a number of points connected by two star shaped

wires. If the potential at A is 7 Volts and the potential at D is -3 Volts,
find the potential at E?

11. Inside a wire, it is observed that 600 trillion electrons cross over from right side to the left side of a cross-
section every two seconds. If the charge on each electron is -1.6  10-19 C , find the current through
the cross-section. (Note: 1 Trillion = 1012 .)

12. A vacuum tube is a cylindrical glass tube from which all air is removed. A stream of positively charged
alpha particles moves from the left end to the right end of this vacuum tube. The charge on each alpha
particle is +3.2  10-19 C . If 4 million trillion alpha particles travelling with a speed of 10000 m/s cross
the central cross-section the vacuum tube every 5 seconds and the cross-section area is 0.1 cm2 , find
the total current passing through the cross-section from left to right. (Note: Million = 106 and Trillion =
Million Million = 1012 .)

13. All our electronic gadgets are made on silicon wafers. Silicon is a semiconductor and inside a
semiconductor slab both negatively charged electrons and positively charged ‘holes’ move. Across a
cross-section of area 0.3 cm2 , it is found that 45 billion electrons move from left to right every 3 seconds
and 24 billion ‘holes’ move from right to left every second. The charge on an electron is -1.6  10-19 C

and a ‘hole’ has a charge of +1.6  10-19 C . Find the current through that cross-section of the
semiconductor slab.
