math - Double-Subscript Notation for Voltages



I have read from some book that: "The voltage quantity symbol V sometimes has subscripts to designate the two points to which the voltage corresponds. If the letter a designates one point and b the other, and if W joules of work are required to move Q coulombs from point b to a then, $V_{ab}=\frac{W}{Q}$. Note that the first subscript is the point to which the charge is moved"


While Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_subscript_notation) says: "$V_{CB}$ means the "$V$" from $C$ to $B$."


Can you help me with the true meaning of the first subscript?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
