Question:-
How is voltage the same across all resistors in a parallel connection?
Solution:-
Voltage is a measure of potential energy (or energy per charge, or Joules per Coulomb).
- Gravity has potential energy in the same way - potential energy equals mass × height × acceleration constant, or mgh.
Let's move that mass up , then drop it down, then move it around and then put it back in the same place it was before.
When it's back in the same place, the gravitational potential energy is the same as it was before - mgh.
The same goes for voltage. Take any path you choose, around in any directions and through whatever paths you pick.
When you end up back in the place you started, the potential energy must be the same.
Additional information:-
The voltage is the same in all parallel components because by definition you have connected them together with wires that are assumed to have negligible resistance.
The voltage at each end of a wire is the same, So all the components have to have the same voltage.
