An emf source is traversed from its negative to positive terminal while tracing a loop. The EMF contribution to KVL is:
A$\varepsilon/2$
BPositive
CZero
DNegative
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Positive
Going from − to + inside the source means gaining energy per unit charge → positive contribution. Going from + to − would be negative.
