In which circuit is the voltage the same across all branches?

Parallel circuit.


In a circuit the voltage is the same across all branches?

Parallel


What value is the same among all paths of a parallel circuit?

The voltage is the same across all branches.


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.


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 will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?

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

Why does the same voltage run through all the branches of a parallel circuit irrelevant of the different resistance appliances on those branches?

The same voltage is present but does not run. It is the current that could be described as "runniing" through the different branches. Just by definition, parallel circuits necessarily have the same voltage. It is architecture of the circuit.


In a parallel circuit the voltage is across all branches?

the same In a parallel circuit, the voltage travels through all the closed circuit paths. They are not branches.


In a parallel circuit what is the total current equal to?

In all branches of a parallel circuit, it is voltage that is the same. Across each parallel branch of a circuit, we'll measure the same voltage. Probably the best example of equal voltages appearing across all branches of a parallel circuit is a household electrical distribution curcuit. The voltage at any outlet where you'd care to plug in an appliance or device will be the same. A fan plugged into an outlet in a bedroom will "feel" the same voltage as it would if it were in the living room and plugged into an outlet there.One other way to look at things like this is that each branch of the parallel circuit is connected across the voltage source. Each branch could be looked at as an "independent" circuit, and any given branch doesn't care what is happening in any other branch. Does turning that fan we mentioned on and off, or even unplugging it from the outlet affect the operation of, say, the refrigerator? No, it does not. Any device plugged into an outlet is connected "directly" to the source of voltage. And each parallel branch of the circuit will operate independently of any other branch. We know that the voltage in (or across) any branch of a parallel circuit is the same as the voltage across any other branch.


Is the current the same everywhere in the parallel circuit?

No. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere. The voltage across a parallel circuit is the same.


What is true about the sum of the voltages across the components in a circuit compared to the voltage of the cell?

voltage is devided only in series circuit and is the same at the parallel circuit
