Graph of Electric Potential vs. Function

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a graph of electric potential versus distance, starting from point G and moving clockwise. The user is uncertain about how to represent voltage, noting that it is only meaningful as a difference between two points. They mention a specific voltage measurement across a resistor but are confused about whether point G should be assigned a voltage of zero. Additionally, there are issues with accessing the provided image link, which may not work for others either. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding voltage reference points in electric potential graphs.

the question asks me to draw a graph of electric potential vs distance starting from from point g (starting at g and going around in a clockwise manner).

i am not sure how to proceed. i mean i know voltage is only meaningful if it is measured as a difference between two points. for instance, i know the voltage across the 10 ohm resistor is 0.09009V, which is the voltage at b relative to a. On the graph would i just have b = 0.09009V? If i start at g, does it mean that g has a voltage of zero?

Thanks.

Linky no worky ("page not found").
 
sorry.. about the copying and pasting thing. just click on the link and it should work.
 
That didn't work either ("forbidden"). Maybe it'll work for other people.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
