Question 123Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is A) The voltage drop across each resistor is the same. In a parallel circuit, the voltage drop across each resistor is the same because all the resistors are connected to the same voltage source. This is a fundamental principle of parallel circuits - the voltage is constant across all branches. The other options are incorrect: B) is incorrect because the total current in a parallel circuit is the sum of the individual currents, not the reciprocal. C) is incorrect because the total voltage in a parallel circuit is the same as the voltage across each branch, not the sum of the individual voltages. D) is incorrect because the total resistance in a parallel circuit is less than the sum of the individual resistances, due to the effect of parallel resistance.
