AB is a part of an electrical circuit (see figure). The potential difference $V_A - V_B$, at the instant when current $i = 2$ A and is increasing at a rate of 1 amp/second is:
Traversing A→B in the current direction the drops add: $V_A - V_B = L\dfrac{di}{dt} + \varepsilon + iR = (1)(1) + 5 + (2)(2) = 10\ \text{V}$.
