Answer:
Unlike the previous series resistor circuit, in a parallel resistor network the circuit current can take more than one path as there are multiple paths for the current. Then parallel circuits are classed as current dividers.
Since there are multiple paths for the supply current to flow through, the current may not be the same through all the branches in the parallel network. However, the voltage drop across all of the resistors in a parallel resistive network IS the same. Then, Resistors in Parallel have a Common Voltage across them and this is true for all parallel connected elements.
Answer:
The Potential Difference is the drop in voltage that occurs across a resistor as current flows through it. In a circuit, Potential Difference or Voltage (V) = Current (I) * Resistance(R), or to abbreviate V=I*R. In this case, I=5 amps and R=10 ohms, so V= I*R= 5 amps*10 ohms=50 volts...,.
To calculate the voltage drop across a resistor, remember: Ohm's Law (V=I*R) is your friend. Find the current flowing through a resistor, then multiply the current in amps by resistance in ohms to find the voltage drop in volts.
