Yes for a closed circuit
In a series circuit, the potential difference (voltage) across the entire circuit is equal to the sum of the potential differences across each individual component. To find the potential difference across a specific component, you can use Ohm's Law (V = I × R), where V is the voltage, I is the current through the circuit, and R is the resistance of that component. The total voltage supplied by the source is equal to the sum of the voltages across all components, so V_total = V1 + V2 + V3 + ... + Vn.
It's not.
The voltage across the resistor is whatever voltage is applied. The only maximum here would be a voltage that would damage the resistor. If you think this might happen, you'll have to look up such a voltage from the data sheets.
The maximum reverse bias potential that can be applied to a Zener diode before it enters the Zener region is called the "Zener breakdown voltage" or "Zener voltage." This is the point at which the diode begins to conduct in reverse bias due to the Zener effect, allowing it to stabilize voltage across a load. Exceeding this voltage can lead to thermal runaway or damage if not properly managed.
Yes, in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same and equal to the total voltage applied across the parallel combination. This means that regardless of the number of branches or their individual resistances, each branch experiences the same voltage. Consequently, the total voltage across the parallel network is equal to the voltage across each branch.
The voltage applied to the voltage coil of a wattmeter must not exceed the voltage rating of that coil.
By connecting a voltmeter across the secondary terminals of the voltage/potential transformer. The transformer acts to reduce the voltage applied to its primary winding, while electrically-isolating the primary (usually high-voltage) circuit from the voltmeter.
Yes, there is a relationship between the sums of electrical potential differences in a circuit and the electrical potential across the source. The sum of the potential differences around a closed loop in a circuit equals zero, known as Kirchhoff's Voltage Law. This means that the sum of the potential drops across circuit elements is equal to the potential rise across the power source.
No. If a voltage is applied across a resistor, a current flows through it.
The reason an AC voltage applied across a load resistance produces alternating current is because when you have AC voltage you have to have AC current. If DC voltage is applied, DC current is produced.
In a series circuit, the potential voltage across the circuit components adds up to the total voltage of the circuit.

When a voltage is applied across it.
It's not.
See the related link for a circuit diagram. The diagram pretty well explains how it works also. A potential is applied across the potentiometer. A movable contact moves across the voltage developed across the fixed portion and picks off the desired voltage.
A voltage is never applied to the secondary It can be used as a source but hen it becomes the primary by definition
Voltage does not 'run through' anything! Voltage is another word for potential difference which exists across a circuit's load. You can think of voltage as being equivalent to 'pressure' -pressure does not 'run through' anything, either, it is applied 'across' two points in a hydraulic or pneumatic system.So, if the appliances are connected in parallel (usually the case), then the potential difference across each appliance will be the same.
