Question:

What are the potential difference measurements in a parallel circuit?

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

In a parallel circuit, the poetical difference across each component is equal (in which the voltmeter is clipped around the components when measuring potential difference, rather than being directly connected like in a series circuit) However, a parallel circuit may have branches with two lamps in series, in which the first lamp would be equal to the cell’s/overall potential difference, while the second and third in series lamps would equal the overall potential difference when added together, just like in a series circuit
