Q. As told in the video of Krichoff's voltage law, that if we move from low potential to high potential aross a battery which is from negative terminal to positive terminal, the voltage gets added. So if we would have taken the direction of loop in the other way round i.e from high potential to low potential which is from positive to negative, would we substract it?
