Problem

A charge passes once around a loop, gaining +15 V+15\,\text{V} across a power supply and losing 7.0 V7.0\,\text{V} across one resistor. Determine the potential difference (magnitude and sign) across a single additional element required so that the charge’s net energy change after one loop is zero.
