Gibbs, you are now correct. 0V. And of course the probes are kept the same polarity orientation as we travel around the loop, that IS how it is always done in ALL cases, agreed? @Ex: You will NOT measure an in-phase PD across the wires, relative to that across the resistors. You need to pay closer attention to the question and diagram being discussed. Your diagram is in reference to the in-plane measurements, while the last question and diagram reference the decoupled mode of measurement, which btw, is the only method of the two which provides the TRUE PD measurement of all the components in a dynamic circuit such as this. The E field of the EMF/emf in all circuits, whether placed there physically (such as with a battery) or induced through induction, are always, and without exception, IN OPPOSITION to the E fields of the loads, such as the resistors in our case. Therefore, the TRUE PD sum of the loop is 0V at any instant of time, or total length of time. While measuring the in-plane E field however, it is non-conservative, and is always 1V. The notion that the true PD sum can be 2V (vs. 0V) is ludicrous. You would have a FE generator at your fingertips, if it was.
