Why is the Potential Difference equal in parallel combination of resistances ?
Why do you think it is? Can you draw a diagram showing parallel resistors and indicate the potential difference across each resistor?Shayan shan said:Why is the Potential Difference equal in parallel combination of resistances ?
"Potential in Parallel Combination of Resistors" refers to the voltage difference or potential difference across each individual resistor when connected in parallel in an electrical circuit.
The total potential or voltage in a parallel combination of resistors is equal to the highest potential of any individual resistor. This means that the potential across each resistor in a parallel combination is equal to the potential of the power source.
In a parallel combination of resistors, the total current is equal to the sum of the individual currents through each resistor. This means that the current is divided among the different branches of the parallel circuit.
Yes, one advantage of using parallel combination of resistors is that it allows for different resistances to be used in a circuit while maintaining the same potential. This allows for more flexibility in designing circuits and can also improve the overall efficiency of the circuit.
Parallel combination of resistors is commonly used in household appliances, such as Christmas lights, where different strands of lights are connected in parallel to prevent one faulty bulb from causing the whole strand to go out. It is also used in electronics, such as computer motherboards, to distribute power to different components.
