Yes. Kirchoff's Voltage Law states that the signed sum of the voltage drops going around a series circuit is zero. Thus, if you know all but one, you can figure it out. You simply add what you know up, and what is left is the last drop.
Don't forget to be consistent in your use of signs. If, for instance, you show a voltage or current source as a voltage rise, then it must be considered to be a negative voltage drop. Or vice versa, as the case may be.

∙ 15y agoAbsolutely! If you turn off a light switch for instance (opening the circuit), you will have, and be able to measure, voltage across the open switch. There is no current developed across an open circuit, but voltage, yes.

∙ 14y agokirchoffs voltage law is appliciable for an open circuit when a diode/transister is higher or greater than the voltage and then divide it by the reistance!

What will be the voltage drop when diode and resistance are used in series in a circuit?
voltage drop deviding accure
What is drop testing used for?
One type of drop testing is conducted in the electrical and industrial trades. It is used to determine the voltage drop across a resistor. It appears to work best on higher amperage circuits according to engine-light-help website.
The calculation used to determine amperage of a conductor based on the total number of conductors in a conduit is called A derating B voltage drop C conduit fill D conductor fill?
derating
State Kirchoffs voltage and current law?
Kirchoffs Current Law : [KCL]This law is also called Kirchhoff's point rule, Kirchhoff's junction rule (or nodal rule), and Kirchhoff's first rule. The principle of conservation of electric charge implies that: : At any point in an electrical circuit that does not represent a capacitor plate, the sum of currents flowing towards that point is equal to the sum of currents flowing away from that point. Kirchoffs Voltage Law : [KVL]This law is also called Kirchhoff's second law, Kirchhoff's loop (or mesh) rule, and Kirchhoff's second rule. : The directed sum of the electrical potential differences around any closed circuit must be zero.Kirchoffs Laws are widely used in the Electrical and Electronic engineering fields.Hope this helps =)
What can be used to reduce the amount of voltage drop across the branches of a parallel circuit to be less than source voltage?
A: BY adding resistance to one or all branches will reduce the voltage drop across any branch. But also the current will be reduced accordingly
What is volts drop?
the voltage drop means whenever the conductor passing through the supply voltage, according to the resistivity property to reduces the some amount of voltage that drop is known as voltage drop for example the resistance is used to drop the voltage to the circuit.............................................

Does a resistor drop current or voltage?
A resistor drops both voltage and current, however the term "drop" is generally used to indicate a voltage or current drop across the device, so it is more correctly stated that a resistor drops voltage, by allowing the current in the circuit to decrease.

How is voltage reduced when using power tools on site?
If you are working from a generator and many tools are used at the same time, voltage will drop.
