How will you conclude that the same potential difference (voltage) exists across three resistors connected in a parallel arrangement to a battery?
Components in parallel circuits are connected to the source in . There are multiple paths for the electric charge to flow in a parallel circuit.
Even if the circuit is broken at any point in the loop, the current can flow through the circuit. Any electric appliances linked to the circuit . Hence, the electrical wiring in our houses is made of parallel circuits.
The sum of the individual currents in each parallel branch in a parallel circuit the main current flowing into or out of the parallel branches. The potential difference across separate parallel branches are .
1. Let the resistances of three resistors be \(R_1\), \(R_2\) and \(R_3\), be connected in along with a battery, a plug key and .
2. Let '\(I\)' be the flowing through the circuit.
3. Connect the in between the resistors \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) and note the reading.
4. Now connect the in between the resistors \(R_2\) and \(R_3\).
5. Again note the of potential difference reading.
The potential difference across the three resistances are the to the potential difference between points \(A\) and \(B\).
