No. But bear in mind that, in the case of a.c. circuits, 'total', means the phasor (vectorial) sum of the voltage drops, NOT the algebraic sum.

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 voltage is being applied across the secondary circuit?

A voltage is never applied to the secondary It can be used as a source but hen it becomes the primary by definition


Why is the voltage across a battery in a parallel circuit equal to the voltage across each bulb?

The voltage across a battery in a parallel circuit is equal to the voltage across each bulb because Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the signed sum of the voltages going around a series circuit adds up to zero. Each section of the parallel circuit, i.e. the battery and one bulb, constitutes a series circuit. By KVL, the voltage across the battery must be equal and opposite to the voltage across the bulb. Another way of thinking about this is to consider that the conductors joining the battery and bulbs effectively have zero ohms resistance. By Ohm's law, this means the voltage across the conductor is zero, which means the voltage across the bulb must be equal to the voltage across the battery and, of course, the same applies for all of the bulbs.


What is voltage drop in an electrical circuit?

When a current flow on a conductor , or load or resistor, some voltage will drop across that load or resistor.AnswerA voltage drop is the potential difference appearing across individual components in a circuit, necessary to drive current through those components. The sum of the individual voltage drops around a series circuit will equal the supply voltage applied to that circuit.


What is total voltage in a series circuits?

In a series circuit the total voltage is the sum of the voltage drops across all the component in series. When the voltage drops across each the individual components are added up, they will equal the supply (or applied) voltage.

How does a voltage divider work to distribute voltage across multiple resistors in a circuit?

A voltage divider is a circuit that uses two or more resistors to divide the input voltage into smaller voltages across each resistor. The voltage across each resistor is proportional to its resistance compared to the total resistance in the circuit. This allows for distributing the input voltage across multiple resistors in a controlled manner.

How can nodal analysis be applied to a circuit containing capacitors to determine the voltage distribution across the nodes?

Nodal analysis can be used in circuits with capacitors by treating the capacitors as open circuits during analysis. By assigning nodal voltages to each node and applying Kirchhoff's current law, you can determine the voltage distribution across the nodes in the circuit.

How does a voltage divider work to distribute voltage across multiple components in a circuit?

A voltage divider is a circuit that uses resistors to divide the input voltage into smaller voltages across multiple components. This is achieved by connecting the resistors in series, creating a voltage drop across each resistor based on their resistance values. The output voltage across each component is determined by the ratio of its resistance to the total resistance in the circuit.


Is the sum of the potential differences equal to the voltage applied across them?

Yes for a closed circuit


What is the total voltage in a series circuit when multiple resistors are connected in series?

In a series circuit with multiple resistors connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual voltages across each resistor.


What are the relations between individual voltages and the total voltages when resistors are connected in series and in parallel?

-- The current in each individual resistor is (voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor). -- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit. -- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.
