Adjective or verb?

Hello,

I have a question maybe a little stupid Emotion: smile

As I understand, in the sentence:

"The Power Grid analyzed is the high Voltage end composed of almost 2800 nodes that span across entire European continent."

the word analyzed is an ajdective and should be in front of the noun. Is analyzedin this case an adjective or a verb? Emotion: thinking

Another example:

"The weight considered is related to the betweenness managed by a node and it is partitioned between the edges it is connected to."

Thanks! Emotion: wink

" The verb in the relative clause would be in passive voice, in both of your examples. There are various ways to look at it. " To my ear, both sentences would sound strange with the adjective in the pre position.

agapijThe Power Grid analyzed is the high Voltage end
"Analyzed" is an adjective, but by placing if after the noun, we get the feeling that it's the past participle in a relative clause, "The power grid which has/had been analyzed is etc."
The verb in the relative clause would be in passive voice, in both of your examples.
