The voltage drop in any branch (closed loop) of a series parallel circuit is equal to the APPLIED VOLTAGE(NOVANET) Without looking in my codebook, I believe it is 2% on a branch circuit.
A parallel branch is a current path. In general, current follows paths, voltage drops across components, and resistance is the voltage divided by current of specific circuit elements.
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.
The voltage drop should not exceed 3% on a feeder or branch 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, the voltage across each branch is the same.

... the voltage of the power supply and the resistance of that branch alone.
In parallel circuits, the voltage across each branch is the same as the total voltage of the circuit. This is because each branch is connected directly across the voltage source. This rule is known as Kirchhoff's voltage law.
Yes. In a 240 volt circuit, the total applied voltage is 240 volts but each leg is carrying only 120 volts.
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.)
-- The voltage between the ends of each parallel branch is the same. -- The current through each parallel branch is inversely proportional to the resistance of that branch. (It's the voltage divided by the resistance of the branch.)
The voltage drop is the same through each of the parallel branches.
For each individual branch, you can use Ohm's Law - just divide the voltage by the resistance.
The voltages appearing across each branch of a parallel circuit will be equal to the supply voltage.
Voltage can be divided by a voltage divider, also known as a potential divider. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations:voltage divider (potentiometer) - damping pad - loaded and open circuit (unloaded) - voltage drop at the voltage divider"
