In parallel circuit, which quantity is same across branches? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In parallel circuit, which quantity is same across branches?
A. Current
B. Resistance
C. Power
D. Voltage
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Parallel branches share same voltage (potential difference). Current divides inversely with resistance. Memory aid: 'Parallel: same voltage; Series: same current'. Fundamental circuit property frequently tested in competitive exams to assess basic electronics understanding.

A stone is dropped from a height of 80 m. Time to reach ground (g=10) is
A. 16 s
B. 4 s
C. 8 s
D. 2 s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
h = ½gt² => 80 = 5t² => t²=16 => t=4 s.

Question #3
A freely falling body exhibits which type of motion?
A. Uniform velocity
B. Zero acceleration
C. Uniform acceleration
D. Non-uniform acceleration

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A freely falling body falls under the sole influence of Earth's gravity (neglecting air resistance). Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity ('g') is constant (approximately 9.8 m/s²). Because the acceleration does not change during the fall, it is an example of uniform accelerated motion.
