      How will you conclude that the same potential difference (voltage)exists across three resistors connected in a parallel arrangement to a battery?

    Answer:

                      The experimental set-up comprises of three resistors  and  which are joined in parallel combination and connecting them with a battery, an ammeter (A), a voltmeter (V) and a plug key K, as shown in figure (a). The key K is closed and the voltmeter and ammeter readings are recorded.   The key K is open and removing the ammeter and voltmeter from the circuit and insert the voltmeter V in parallel with  and ammeter in series with the resistor , as shown in fig. (b)Again, the voltmeter and ammeter readings are recorded.   Similarly, measuring the potential differences across resistances and . It is found that voltmeter gives identical reading which leads to conclude that the voltage or potential difference across each resistors is same and equal to the potential difference across the combination .
