Question

In a parallel circuit, how does the voltage across each resistor compare to the total voltage supplied by the battery?

A.

It is the same for each resistor.

B.

It is inversely proportional to the resistance.

C.

It is zero.

D.

It is divided according to the resistance values.

Correct option is A

The correct answer is option (a) It is the same for each resistor.

Information booster :

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is equal to the total voltage supplied by the battery.

This happens because all the resistors are connected directly across the same two points (the positive and negative terminals of the battery), so the potential difference across each resistor remains the same as the source voltage.
