 Voltage drop in parrallel circuit hello i have 3 resistors in parrallel is it true that you wont get a voltage drop, or if u do it is very smalll cheers adam | |

| you will always get a voltage drop if current is flow - good old Ohms law | |

| oh rite, i thought it would only limit the voltage through will have to work that out then! thanks adam | |

| Voltage drop Yes, but isn't the basic principle teaching, that current stays the same in series, and voltage drops; and in parallel, current drops, while voltage remains (in theory) the same.

| that's the general idea of things. Good ol' Kirchoffs (i know i spelled that wrong) current and voltage law, unless your dealing with some seriously non linear divices then yea, current is the same for devices in series and voltage is the same for devices in parrallel.
