When traversing the loop in the direction indicated by the polarity markings in the figure, a passage from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of an element is counted as: ![](https://qallery.app/diagrams/v2_e522df9dceeb/img-001.jpeg)

AA voltage drop
BA zero change in potential
CA voltage rise
DAn invalid traversal
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A voltage rise
Moving from $-$ to $+$ means electric potential increases, so that term is taken as a voltage rise. Moving from $+$ to $-$ corresponds to a voltage drop. ![](https://qallery.app/diagrams/v2_e522df9dceeb/img-001.jpeg)
