Kirchoff's second law
The algebraic sum of all the potential across a closed loop is zero. This law is also known as Kirchhoff's Voltage law (KVL)
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 $-\frac{q}{C}$

In closed-loop
