• what is line drop (line voltage drop)?

  voltage lost between source and the load on the conductors
• Which formula do you use for line drop?

  V = I * R (must use resistance of the conductors)
• What is Kirchhoff's law?

  sum of all voltage drops in a circuit is exactly equal to the applied voltage
• source is the ___ in voltage, and circuit is the ___ in voltage

  rise, drop
• what is line loss?


  The power lost on the wires in the circuit. It is a power loss measured in watts
• What formula do we use for line loss?

  P = I^2 * R
• If a distance is given between load and supply, what must we do to calculate total resistance, total voltage drop, or total line loss?

  double the length
