approx. 8 examples. 2 3 and 4 loop circuits.
When VR3 is calculated will see about sticking to the Passive Sign Convention.

Some literature say: The Passive Sign Convention is the Absorbing Sign Convention .
becasue All calculated powers are originally labeled as "Absorbed"
But, there is no need to label the power , as on inspection, ALL pos+ powers
are known to be "absorbed" by the element. ALL neg- powers
are known to be "delivered\generated" by the element .


Even if the best approach isn't used, as long as we don't mix our labels
and usage, and stick with the Passive Sign Convention, we can still get it right.
