All electrical appliances are connected in parallel to each other between the main line and neutral wire to get ______________________?
Correct answer: C. different current but same potential difference
- A. same current
- B. same current and potential difference
- C. different current but same potential difference
- D. different current and potential differences
Explanation
Parallel appliances are connected across the same two points, so each receives the same potential difference, while the current differs according to its resistance and power rating. Option b, same current and potential difference, incorrectly treats a parallel circuit like a series circuit.

About Steady Current
Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
