A parallel circuit. Since a parallel circuit has only two nodes, there can be only one voltage difference between the nodes.

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.
In a series circuit why does the largest voltage drop occur across the largest or smallest resistor?
It doesn't. In a series circuit, the largest voltage drop occurs across the largest resistor; the smallest voltage drop occurs across the smallest resistor.
Why does higher resistance have a larger voltage drop across it?
In a d.c. circuit, voltage drop is the product of resistance and current through that resistance.
How does voltage change across an appliance in a parallel circuit?
With the minor voltage loss in the wiring, the voltage drop across a single appliance is the total voltage in the circuit, and doesn't change when more devices are added in parallel.
What is the difference between voltage forward voltage and voltage drop?
Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source 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 the voltage drop of a series circuit with four voltage drops of 30 volts?
there is 120V across the circuit.
What is it called when voltage is lost across a portion of a circuit?
This is often called a "voltage drop".
When voltage drops across a circuit the drop is generally caused by?
Resistance.
What parts of a circuit acts as a resistor?
Any part of a circuit that has a voltage drop across it is a resistor.
Why does higher resistance have a larger voltage drop across it?
In a d.c. circuit, voltage drop is the product of resistance and current through that resistance.

How do you drop amps across a circuit without changing the voltage?
Increase resistance.
How are the voltage drop across R and XL related in series RL circuit?
Voltage drop across a circuit is IZ, where I is current and Z is impedance. In other words IZ = IR + jIX, where R is resistance and X is inductance
What work resistor?
when a resistor is connected in a circuit it drop some voltage across it.when a circuit have large input voltage then by using a resistor of suitable value we get the desired voltage.
