A 24-volt source is required to furnish 48 watts to a parallel circuit consisting of four resistors of equal value. What is the voltage drop across each resistor?
- 12 volts.
- 24 volts.
- 3 volts.
Explanation from PART66Online
In a parallel circuit every branch is connected directly across the source, so each resistor sees the full supply voltage. All four equal resistors therefore drop 24 V. The total power of 48 W is used to find the branch currents, but it does not change the voltage across each resistor.
