Answer 1

Answer:

(i) Take three resistors R 1,R2 and R3 and connected them in parallel to make the circuit ; s shown in figure.

(ii) Use voltmeter to take reading of potential difference of three resistors in parallel combination.

(iii) Now, remove the resistors R 1 and take the reading of potential difference of remaining resistor's combination.

(iv) Then , remove the resistor R 2and take the reading of potential difference of remaining resistor.

Observation : Voltmeter reading was same in each case. This shows that the potential difference exists across three resistors connected in a parallel arrangement.
