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
$-i_1 R_1+i_2 R_2-E_1-i_3 R_3+E_2+E_3-i_4 R_4=0$
