Circuits I - Passive Sign Convention - Example

Ethan talks a little about how Passive Sign Convention works, and how it can be used in an example problem.

In case someone is in doubt: I checked the results and they are correct. Also, the conservation of energy is satisfied (+power dissipated = -power developed), where _p_ = + _vi_ or _vi_ > 0 for power dissipated (current enters in the positive terminal and exits by the negative terminal; applies always for resistors), and _p_ = - _vi_ or _vi_ < 0 for power developed (current enters in the negative terminal and exits by the positive terminal.)

Why are you using the terms dissipating and developing for power in contrast to the standard terms absorbed and supplied ?

6:32 When you say "In reality [...]", do you mean using the convectional current flow (common for EE), or, the real/electron current flow?

Thank you.
