How do you do this one? Specifically, for b), the answer gives V> Va, why is that? In general how do we know which side has higher potentials?

 

(notice: this is not a graded question, it's a practice problem that comes with an answer which I don't quite understand, you can see from how I asked the question that the answer is provided...)
