**A.2.2 Voltage drop (***Up***<sup>1</sup>**�*<sup>p</sup>***2) – path dependent**

The voltage drop corresponds to the line integral of *E* ! Total, which depends on the start and endpoints and the integration path. Thus, it is defined according to Eq. (17).

$$U\_{p\_1 - p\_2} = \int\_{p\_1}^{p\_2} \vec{E}\_{\text{Total}} \cdot d\vec{\ell} \tag{17}$$
