First calculate your resistance for your parallel circuit using the reciprocal formula
1/
1/r1+1/r2 etc... Get that total and then add it to your resistance total of your series circuits. Divideyour applied voltage EA by Resistance Total RTthis gives you your current total or IT. Calculate your voltage drops by multiplying IT by your resistors in the series circuit. Subtract those voltage drops from your applied voltage EA and you now have your voltage drops for your parallel circuit, which all are equal to each other.

∙ 13y agoA; In a parallel circuit no matter what different resistor are installed the voltage to each will be the same the current for each however will change. The opposite will be true for a series circuit

∙ 9y agoWhen calculating the voltage in a parallel circuit, it is important to note that the voltage is the same across all the resistors. To calculate the voltage the resistance across every resistor should be multiplied by the current across every resistor.

∙ 9y agoThe *total*?
It's the same as the supply voltage.
For any one resistor?
Use Ohm's Law:
V = I x R.
Or, if you have just two resistors, and know the drop across one (call it R1),
then the drop across R2 is (VR2 = Vsupply - VR1).

How does voltage change across an appliance in a parallel circuit?
With the minor voltage loss in the wiring, the voltage drop across a single appliance is the total voltage in the circuit, and doesn't change when more devices are added in parallel.
What type of circuit has the same voltage drop across each of its components?
A parallel circuit. Since a parallel circuit has only two nodes, there can be only one voltage difference between the nodes.
What is the difference between series circuit and a parallel circuit?
For parallel circuit , each & every component shares 2 common connections . But for series circuit , each of them share 1 common connection .In electrical , each component has their own amount of current flowing through ( depending on the resistance of each ) and sharing the same voltage drop for parallel circuit . In case of series circuit , each component shares the same amount of current with each other & the voltage drop across each of them is different ( depending on their resistance ) .
The resistor in an R-L series circuit has a voltage drop of 53V and the inductor has a voltage drop of 28V what is the applied voltage of the circuit?
The applied voltage is 53+28 = 81V.
In which circuit is the voltage the same across all branches?
Parallel circuit.
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel potion of the circuit?
A: There is no voltage drop running through in a parallel circuit but rather the voltage drop across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same

How do you drop voltage in parallel circuit?
it does not meet,positive goes to positive and negetive to negetive.
What is the allowable voltage drop for a branch ct?
The voltage drop in any branch (closed loop) of a series parallel circuit is equal to the APPLIED VOLTAGE(NOVANET) Without looking in my codebook, I believe it is 2% on a branch circuit.
What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
Is Voltage the same all parts of a series circuit?
Voltage is an electrical force or pressure that causes current to flow in a circuit. It is an additive in a series circuit.
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel?
The voltage drop is the same through each of the parallel branches.
What are Relationship between the voltage drop across the resistors and the currents through the resistors when resistors are connected in parallel?
A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source.
Why a voltage only in parallel?
Depends on what circuit you're refering to, a parallel circuit has parallel lines because it allows for voltage to pass through the circuit, giving more power.
What is the voltage drop using?
Voltage drop is caused by circuit resistance
How much voltage does each branch of a parallel circuit?
Yes. The voltage across every branch of a parallel circuit is the same. (It may not be the supply voltage, if there's another component between the power supply and either or both ends of the parallel circuit.)
