Nodal analysis how to determine high and low potential for current


The rules for nodal analysis is that current flows from the higher potential node to the lower potential node, with the mathematical equation being:


\$I = \frac{Vhigher-Vlower}R\$


However, how do we determine which node has the higher potential. Ground node against any other node is easy because ground is always \$0v\$, but for other nodes (say Node A to Node B), how do we determine which is higher.


Edit: In the current question I am doing, I am given the arrows for the direction of the voltage, along with the direction of the current (This is just a practice question). So I am assuming it is related to one of these two but which?


Nodal Analysis


So far I have gotten the KVL and KCL, along with \$VoltageA = 6v, VoltageD = 0v\$.



I have no idea how to proceed from here

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...
