Voltage can be divided by a voltage divider, also known as a potential divider.

'sees' the same voltage. It's the current that's shared in such a circuit, in inverse
proportion to the resistance of each branch.

What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
What happens to voltage and current in a parallel circuit?
-- The voltage between the ends of each parallel branch is the same. -- The current through each parallel branch is inversely proportional to the resistance of that branch. (It's the voltage divided by the resistance of the branch.)
What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?
That has no effect on the resistance. The current doubles also.
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.)
What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?
Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery. If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.
What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?
Voltage remains constant; current increases.
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
What happens to voltage and current in a parallel circuit?
-- The voltage between the ends of each parallel branch is the same. -- The current through each parallel branch is inversely proportional to the resistance of that branch. (It's the voltage divided by the resistance of the branch.)
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 happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?
That has no effect on the resistance. The current doubles also.
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.)
In a parallel circuit the is the same for every leg in the circuit?
