Parallel voltage sources circuit

In summary: But without an actual earth, you are free to choose any point to be the zero point. You can choose A and you can choose B (but only 1 of the two! :wink:). I still don't understand. :(

Yes. It's groundless.

Is this like our "circuit flowing in space" idea? Not connected to ANYTHING!

The problem with those statements is, that Vcd will still equal whatever you calculated, even if Vc is not zero (since Vcd is a "difference").

So in other words I don't have to define anything as my "zero" point. :smile: Duly noted!
