Is potential difference between different points of the circuit same or different
Asked by chander_dadlani | 25 Apr, 2020, 02:28: PM
Expert Answer
Whether the potential difference is same or different depends upon the connection of appliances or resistors in circuit.
1. If the resistors/ appliances are connected in series then the potential difference across the ends of appliances or resistances will be different.
For example: -
Observe the following series combination: -
the 4 ohm and 5 ohm resistors are connected in series thus if you measure potential difference across 4 ohm and then across 5ohm you will observe that potential difference across these two resistors will be different.
2. If the resistors/ appliances are connected in parallel then the potential difference across the ends of all the resistances/appliances connected in parallel will be same.
For example: -
From the above figure, you will see that 2 ohm and 3 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to each other thus the potential difference across these two resistors are same.
