Summary: 
A formula for the variations in vertex-potentials caused by an increase of an edge-weight is derived using topological methods. This formula can be expressed in terms of the increase of the weight and the potential differences between two vertices joined by the edge with respect to three ordered vertex-pairs in the original network before the weight is increased.
