Two lamps, one with a thick filament and one with a thin filament, are connected in parallel to a battery. The voltage is greater across the lamp with the
A)thick filament.
B)thin filament.
C)same for each

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When connected in parallel, each lamp has the same voltage across it. The amount of current flowing through each lamp depends on the resistance of the filament, which is related to its thickness. However, this does not affect the voltage across the lamps.
