    • Change in Potential in traversing a resistance is -iR

    • Change in Potential in the opposite direction is iR

    • Traversing an e.m.f source from negative to positive terminal is -E

    • While in the opposite direction is E

    • Change in Potential in traversing a capacitor from negative to positive $\frac{q}{C}$

    • While in the opposite direction is $-\frac{q}{C}$
