A: BY adding resistance to one or all branches will reduce the voltage drop across any branch. But also the current will be reduced accordingly

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

The voltage is the same across all branches.


Is total voltage across any branch in in parallel is equal to the voltage across any other branch and is also equal to the total voltage?

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.


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


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.


What is the relationship between voltage at the battery and voltage across bulb in a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each component is the same as the voltage supplied by the battery. This means that the voltage at the battery is equal to the voltage across each bulb connected in parallel. As a result, if the battery has a voltage of, for example, 12 volts, each bulb will also experience 12 volts across it, regardless of the number of bulbs in the circuit.

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

Parallel circuit.


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 a parallel circuit with two branches the voltage is equal across both branches and the current?

In a parallel circuit with two branches, the voltage is the same across each branch and the current is divided between the branches. The total current entering the parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the currents in each branch.


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?

In a series circuit, the voltage is the same across all components connected in the circuit. This is due to the conservation of energy principle, where the total voltage provided by the power source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each component.
