Is the potential difference the same in a parallel series?

Asked by ChristenaRistau57

Answer (2)

-- The potential difference (voltage) is the same across all components that are connected in parallel.
-- The current is the same through all components that are connected in series.

In a parallel circuit, the potential difference across all components is the same because they are connected to the same two points. This means that each component experiences the same voltage from the source. While the voltage is constant, the current may differ across each component based on their resistances.
