Bob F Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Two identical lamps are connected in parallel to a 12-volt source. The voltage across each lamp is: 12 volts. 6 volts. 4 volts. 2 volts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 The answer is 12 volts. Well done, again. A parallel circuit has more than one path for current flow, but the same voltage is applied across each branch. If the load resistance in each branch is the same, the current in each branch will be the same. If the load resistance in each branch is different, the current in each branch will be different. If one branch is broken, current will continue flowing to the other branches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
