Ground circuit and kirchhoff law(holiday 27.30)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the application of Kirchhoff's laws in grounded circuits. The user successfully calculated voltages V1 and V2 as -11V and -9V, respectively, using Kirchhoff's law, but questioned the validity of this approach due to the grounding of the circuit. The consensus is that Kirchhoff's laws can still be applied in grounded circuits, as grounding serves as a reference point and does not violate charge conservation principles. The user also noted that the current flowing to ground is zero, which aligns with the understanding that ground does not perform work in an electrical circuit.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
  • Familiarity with grounded electrical circuits

I attatched my question as a picture

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


1.i found a solution using kirchhoff law, V1=-11V,V2=-9V
and it was correct. but i`m not sure that my method was right.
i know that kirchhoff law is originated from charge and energy conservation but in the problem there is a circuit which is grounded, so i think that charge can in and out through it. consequently, charge doesn`t have to conserve in circuit.
can i use kirchhoff law in this problem? and why?2.i found that current go to ground is 0 using kirchhoff law. but i don`t know why it is

If you see the ground and electrical circuit is an isolation system. V at ground =0. On the other hand, the ground doesn't create works.
