Question

A circuit has a 9.0 V power supply and two 15 Ω resistors connected in parallel. what is the voltage across each resistor?

A. 0.30 V
B. 9.0 V
C. 4.5 V
D. 0.60 V​

Answer 1

B. 9.0 V

Step-by-step explanation:

In parallel circuits, the voltage across each circuit is the same across each component, which is also equal to the total voltage of the power supplied. So in this case, the voltage across each resistor is still 9.0V.

The voltage only changes when the resistors can connected in series.
