4.

The potential difference across the 300 ohm resistor is

a)

6 V

b)

9 V

c)

2 V

d)

30 V

5.

In parallel circuits potential difference across the whole circuit is equal to sum of potential difference across each component

a)

true

b)

False because in parallel circuit P.D across each component is equal to the P.D across the whole circuit

a)

false

b)

true

7.
