What you meant by Self balancing system?
when separate ledgers are maintained for trade debtors and trade creditors ,the debit and credit aspect of certain transactions will note appear in the same ledger Eg: in case of credit sales ,the credit aspect (Sales account) will appear in general ledger whereas the debit aspect (personal account of debtor)will appear in debtors ledger .Take another Eg.like cash discount allowed by a creditor .The credit aspect (personal account of the creditor )will appear in creditors ledger .Thus no ledger is self balancing and it is not possible to prepare a separate trial balance for each ledger .Hence in ,in order to make each ledger self -balancing it is necessary that the corresponding debit and credit aspects are fully "adjustment accounts " in each ledger . the adjustment account helps in completing the double entry in each ledger and making it self balancing . The adjustment account opens in various ledgers are; 1 ) general ledger adjustment account(in debtors ledger) 2 ) general ledger adjustment account(in creditors ledger) 3 ) debtors ledger adjustment account (in general ledger) 4 ) creditors ledger adjustment account (in general ledger)
How is subsidiary ledger different to the general ledger?
A subsidiary ledger is a group of similar accounts whose combined balances equal the balance in a specific general ledger account. The general ledger account that summarizes a subsidiary ledger's account balances is called a control account or master account. For example, an accounts receivable subsidiary ledger (customers' subsidiary ledger) includes a separate account for each customer who makes credit purchases. The combined balance of every account in this subsidiary ledger equals the balance of accounts receivable in the general ledger. Posting a debit or credit to a subsidiary ledger account and also to a general ledger control account does not violate the rule that total debit and credit entries must balance because subsidiary ledger accounts are not part of the general ledger; they are supplemental accounts that provide the detail to support the balance in a control account.
What does it means If the AP account balance has increased on the Trial Balance?
The trial balance is the list of all open accounts in the ledger (although post-closing trial balances exist as well). If the A/P (Accounts Payable) account increased on the trial balance, this would mean that entries had been made (journalized) and posted to the ledger that increase the A/P account balance. For example, buying inventory on account would increase the A/P account balance. This transaction would be journalized and then posted (process of transferring info from journal to ledger). This would result in an increase in A/P on the trial balance.

What will be content of trial balance?
The contents of a trial balance will be your assets, liabilities, and equity accounts and all your ledger (temporary accounts). This is to check for accuracy in your ledger accounts and that your financial statements "balance out'. After you do your "trial balance" you then close your books for the year, closing all temporary accounts which include expenses and revenue (income). Once this is complete you prepare a Post-Closing Trial Balance (post-closing meaning "after closing"). This is to double check that all ledger accounts are closed properly and that your financial statements balance.
