If three lamps are connected in parallel to a 6-volt battery, how many volts are impressed across each lamp?
The voltage impressed across each lamp when three bulbs are connected in parallel to a 6 V battery.
Answer to Problem 6A
The voltage impressed across each lamp is 6 V.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In a parallel connection, the voltage across the devices is equal to the voltage source while the current divides into branches.
In parallel connection, the lamps are directly connected to the voltage source. So, the voltage across each lamp will be same which is 6 V while the current divides.
Conclusion:
The voltage impressed across each lamp is 6 V.
