How do i find pottential differences between two points in such a circuit? Could anyone post a link to a page that can help explain such circuits, because i am greatly confused
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There is something called "Kirchoff's Loop" rule for circuits. It should be relatively easy to find.
 
The sum of current and voltage around any closed loop should be zero. Thats pretty much what kirchhoffs rule says.
 
You could use that fact to find the electric potential at a certain point in a circuit.
