Question

What is true about the potential difference across individual resistors when they are connected in parallel?
Options
A The potential difference is different across each resistor.
B The potential difference is the same across each resistor and equal to the full voltage V.
Correct Answer
C The potential difference depends on the current flowing through each resistor.
D The potential difference adds up to the total voltage V.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 8 states, "ii. The potential difference across each resistor is the same and is equal to the full voltage V."

Hint

Parallel components share the same voltage.
