In a parallel circuit, how does the voltage across each resistor compare to the total voltage supplied by the battery?
It is the same for each resistor.
It is inversely proportional to the resistance.
It is zero.
It is divided according to the resistance values.
It is the same for each resistor.
In a parallel electrical circuit, the voltage across each individual resistor is exactly the same and equals the total voltage supplied by the voltage source (battery). This occurs because all branches of a parallel circuit are connected directly across the same two common electrical nodes, creating independent paths for current flow.

Think of multiple plumbing pipes or garden hoses connected to the exact same main water tank; the water pressure at the inlet of every hose is identical, regardless of whether a hose is wide or narrow.
PARALLEL = Potential Across Resistors Always Looks Level (equal)
According to Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and the fundamental properties of parallel circuits, any closed loop containing a branch and the voltage source must share the same potential difference. Because the components are connected in parallel between the same pair of junction points, the electric potential difference between those two points is invariant across all parallel branches, regardless of the individual resistance values.
