This is due to Kirchoff's law. The total voltage around a closed loop must be zero.This is related to energy conservation. An electron (for example) needs a certain energy to go from point "A" to point "B", against the electrical forces (voltage, really). Voltage is defined as energy per unit charge. If the electron could, for example, go one way and gain an energy of 5 electron-volts (the energy an electron gains when going through a potential of 5 volts), then go another way and lose 4 electron-volts, this could be used to build a perpetuum mobile - therefore it isn't possible.

What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
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.)
Why the voltage in parallel circuit is the same across each circuit?

What is the same in each branch of a parallel circuit?
Voltage
In a circuit the voltage is the same across all branches?
Parallel
What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
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.
In a parallel circuit the is the same for every leg in the circuit?
voltage
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 is same in the parallel circuit?
the term voltage is constant in parallel circuits
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 which circuit is the voltage the same across all branches?
Parallel circuit.

What is the same in each branch of a parallel circuit?
Voltage
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.
In a circuit the voltage is the same across all branches?
Parallel
