Question

Help.
1) Is it true that the potential difference across any number of components in a parallel circuit the same?
2) In terms of an experiment, how can one prove if it's the same or not the same?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

1. It's definitely the same when resistors are connected in parallel. I can't remember about capacitors. ;-;
2. I guess an experiment is to build a parallel circuit of resistors. Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage across each resistor. They should be the same. :3

Answer 2

Thank you...by the way, what are the necessary materials needed to conduct such an experiment? I want to be sure.

Answer 3

copper wires.

Answer 4

Those, a battery, preferably 5V or 12V, a breadboard to connect everything, some resistors (in the kΩ, to make the current small), and a ground. I'm not sure what the ground should be though.

Answer 5

Thank you :)
