In a parallel circuit, which statement about current and potential difference is true?

In a parallel circuit, which statement about current and potential difference is true?

• A. PD across branches varies; total current is the product of branch currents.
• B. Current is the same in all branches; PD is shared.
• C. The total current is the difference of branch currents.
• D. PD across each branch is the same; total current is the sum of branch currents.

Answer: (D)
