Graph of Electric Potential vs. Function

Click For 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.
 
If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
