T5D14
In which type of circuit is the voltage always the same across all components?
- A.Series
- B.Parallel (correct answer)
- C.Resonant
- D.Branch
WhyIn a parallel circuit, the voltage is always the same across all components. In a parallel circuit, every component connects across the same two nodes, so the same voltage appears across all of them, answer B. In a series circuit (A), voltage instead divides across each component, and "resonant" (C) and "branch" (D) describe other circuit concepts, not the defining feature of constant voltage.
