Question

The figure at right shows the voltage differentials across elements in an electrical circuit. The side indicated by the + sign is the higher voltage side. Conversely, - indicates the lower voltage. V_S is the voltage supplied by the battery. V_2 is the voltage across the left resistor and V_4 is the voltage across the right resistor. You may assume no voltage drops across any of the wires or connections in practically all electrical schematics; i.e. all connected wires are at exactly the same voltage (electrical potential). V_S: = 12.V (V = volts) V_2 = ___ V_4 = ___

Explanation / Answer

Since the element's are connected in parallel the Voltage across the elements the same but current divides

Here V2=V4=Vs=12 volts.

In parallel connection, voltage remains constant, but current divides,
