The voltage going into each parallel node will be equal to the voltage of the node before it, as long as the resistance is the same. For example, if you have a current of 5 volts split between two 1k ohm resistors, each 1k ohm will have 5 volts before the resistor drops the voltage.

What are the advantages of arranging bulbs in parallel?

You spread the voltage out equally over them all.


What are the differences between series circuit lights and parallel circuit lights in terms of energy changes?

In a series circuit the lights share the voltage between them equally and the current stays the same throughout and if one bulb fuses the the other will not work. For the parallel, the voltage is the full voltage from the battery in all bulbs and the current is split between the different routes, and if one goes out the other one will stay lighten.


What is a parallel circiut?

Something that contains a voltage circuit and wires.


Why the current is the same in both sides of the main line that connects the voltage source to the parallel branches.?

Because... in a parallel circuit - assuming the wires are all of the same material, the current splits equally at the dividing point.


What is the total voltage in a parallel circuits?

Isn't it the same for all source-sink paths? Different paths may contain various "elements" with equally varying potential drops, but the definition of parallel is that each path shares in the source of voltage. The current in each path is what would differ.


What happens to voltage in a parallel circuit?

Voltage can be divided by a voltage divider, also known as a potential divider. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations:voltage divider (potentiometer) - damping pad - loaded and open circuit (unloaded) - voltage drop at the voltage divider"


What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.


Did the the total voltage across the resistors does not depend on the resistor value?

It depends on where and how the resistor is placed in a circuit. A string of series resistors will split the voltage across all them depending on their values. All of the resistors in parallel will have the same voltage across all of them no matter what their resistance is.


What is the voltage drop running through the parallel?

The voltage drop is the same through each of the parallel branches.


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


High voltage field windings are connected series or parallel?

high voltage field windings are connected in parallel


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.)
