All electrical appliances are connected in parallel to each other between the main line and the neutral wire to get:
Correct answer: C. Different current but the same potential difference
- A. Same current
- B. Same current and a potential difference
- C. Different current but the same potential difference
- D. Different current and potential differences
Explanation
A parallel circuit comprises branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch. The voltage, or potential difference, across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same, but the currents may vary.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
