In an electrical network that contains only one loop and no other meshes, we can form one Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) equation for the circuit.

Explanation:

  • Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the sum of the voltages around a closed loop is equal to zero. This means that all the voltage rises and drops in the loop must be balanced out.
  • Since there is only one loop in the circuit, you can only apply KVL to that single loop, leading to one equation that accounts for all the voltage sources and voltage drops across the components in that loop.


Thus, for a circuit with only one loop, you can form one KVL equation.
