everyday science MCQ #49841

  1. Question 1

    Q1. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each component is:

    • A) Different for each component
    • B) Zero for all components
    • C) The same for all components
    • D) Equal to the sum of all voltages

    Answer: The same for all components

    Explanation: In a parallel circuit, each component is connected directly across the same two nodes, meaning all components share the same potential difference (voltage) regardless of their individual resistances. This is in contrast to a series circuit, where the total voltage is divided among components proportional to their resistances.
