**Circuit Analysis Problem**

Consider the following circuit for determining the electric potential at specific points:

- **Source Voltage**: A 24 V battery is connected to the circuit.
- **Resistances**:
  - \( R_1 = 25 \, \Omega \)
  - \( R_2 = 5 \, \Omega \)
  - \( R_3 = 10 \, \Omega \)
  - \( R_4 = 15 \, \Omega \)

The circuit consists of a combination of resistors configured as follows:

- The battery (\( E \)) is connected to a series and parallel arrangement of resistors.
- \( R_1 \) is in series with a parallel combination of \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \).
- \( R_3 \) is also grounded at point C (\( V_C = 0 \)).
- \( R_4 \) is in parallel with \( R_2 \).

**Graphical Representation**:

1. **Battery and Resistors Set-Up**:
   - The battery appears on the left, with its positive terminal connected to \( R_1 \).
   - \( R_1 \) leads to point A, from which \( R_2 \) and \( R_4 \) extend. 
   - \( R_3 \) is connected at the junction below point A, grounding point C.

2. **Potentials to Determine**:
   - \( V_A \): Electric potential at point A.
   - \( V_B \): Electric potential at point B.

These values are crucial for analyzing the voltage drop across each component and ensuring thorough understanding of electrical circuits.

**Instructions for Calculation**:
To find the electric potential at points A and B, apply circuit analysis techniques such as Ohm's Law and Kirchhoff's rules, taking into account the given resistance values and the configuration of the circuit.
