Discuss What happens to the voltage/current on the neutral wire? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

The problem is that you are looking for a voltage 'at' a certain point. This is not how a circuit works - voltage is the difference in potential between two points, and it happens when current is flowing.

Draw your theoretical circuit out and indicate which two points you want to know what voltage is across.

I will draw the circuit to illustrate the part im stuck with.
however for now, it was an analogy, Im aware Voltage is measured between two points.

The purpose of the post was to ask if the view is correct that, if we was to change the shape and length of the same circuit, the voltage will still be 24v.

However with neutral, the shape the circuit takes can effect the outcome.

The physical shape of the circuit is pretty much irrelevant at DC or normal mains frequency AC. The shape of the circuit becomes relevant at radio frequencies and higher.
