Question

Choose the option below that best completes this sentence: when two circuit elements (e.g., light bulbs, resistors, etc.) are in parallel, the ____ must be the same. choose the option below that best completes this sentence: when two circuit elements (e.g., light bulbs, resistors, etc.) are in parallel, the ____ must be the same.
a.current through each element
b.voltage drop across each element
c.both a and b

Answer 1

When two circuit elements (e.g., light bulbs, resistors, etc.) are in PARALLEL, the voltage drop across each element must be the same. (choice-b)

When the same two circuit elements are in SERIES, the current through each element must be the same.
