Kirchhoff Voltage Law

[javier]

Hello fellow Engineers,

Would you consider as "correct" when VKL gives 0.18 volts when trying to figure out if the procedure went right? should I start over and see why i'm getting that amount when i'm supposed to get a straight "Zero"? Thanks for your support.

As far as I know, when checking if the answer is right, the rule must be always equal to zero. And I assume that 0.18 is incorrect because 0.18 is not equals to 0 even if it's rounded off.

I agree with louie over here, but this totally depends on the situation and given values etc.

If the circuit was a fairly big one, I could see .18 V being accounted for by rounding errors. I'd suggest going back through and trying to be at least a few digits more precise if you haven't already.
