Voltage can be divided by a voltage divider, also known as a potential divider.

Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations:voltage divider (potentiometer) - damping pad - loaded and open circuit (unloaded) - voltage drop at the voltage divider"

What happens in a parallel circuit when one battery is added?

When a battery is added to a parallel circuit, the total voltage in the circuit increases as the new battery adds its voltage to the existing voltage sources. The total current in the circuit may also increase as the additional voltage motivates the charges to flow through the parallel branches of the circuit.


What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?

The supply voltage in a parallel circuit remains the same regardless of the number of additional resistors connected. The voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit is the same as the supply voltage. Adding more resistors in parallel will increase the total current drawn from the supply.


What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance remains the same when the voltage applied is doubled. Each branch in the parallel circuit will experience the same increase in voltage, but their individual resistances will remain constant.


What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit, voltage is the same across each branch of the circuit. This means that the voltage remains constant regardless of the number of devices or components connected in parallel.


How much voltage does each branch of a parallel circuit?

Yes. The voltage across every branch of a parallel circuit is the same. (It may not be the supply voltage, if there's another component between the power supply and either or both ends of the parallel circuit.)

If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?

In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.

What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?

Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery. If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.

What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?

Voltage remains constant; current increases.


What is the voltage drop running through the parallel potion of the circuit?

A: There is no voltage drop running through in a parallel circuit but rather the voltage drop across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same


What is the same in each branch of a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same.


Is voltage the same in parallel circuits?

No, voltage is not the same in parallel circuits. Voltage is constant across components in a series circuit, but in a parallel circuit, each component has the same voltage as the power source.


Why a voltage only in parallel?

Depends on what circuit you're refering to, a parallel circuit has parallel lines because it allows for voltage to pass through the circuit, giving more power.
