What is the same in each branch of a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same.
What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel?
The voltage drop is the same through each of the parallel branches.
What happens to voltage and current in a 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.)
What is the rules of voltage in parallel circuits?
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.

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 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 will be the resultant voltage across different voltage points connected in parallel?
The voltages appearing across each branch of a parallel circuit will be equal to the supply voltage.
How is the total current in a parallel circuit worked out?
You add up the currents in each branch. The current in each branch is just (voltage acrossd the parallel circuit)/(resistance of that branch) . ==================================== If you'd rather do it the more elegant way, then . . . -- Write down the reciprocal of the resistance of each branch. -- Add up the reciprocals. -- Take the reciprocal of the sum. The number you have now is the 'effective' resistance of the parallel circuit ... the single resistance that it looks like electrically. -- The total current through the parallel circuit is (voltage acrossd the parallel circuit)/(effective resistace of the parallel circuit) .
Is a branch voltage in each branch of a parallel circuit less than the applied voltage?
Yes. In a 240 volt circuit, the total applied voltage is 240 volts but each leg is carrying only 120 volts.
What determines the current in each branch of a parallel circuit?
The resistance of the component on that branch of the circuit, if the resistance is higher less of a proportion of the total current of the circuit will travel through that branch, however, if the resistance is low a higher proportion of the current will travel through that branch of the circuit. The voltage through each branch stays 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.
