parallel circuit voltage rule help

[jamesmax]

In an electrical circuit the total potential rise equals the potential dorp across each load connected in parallel

what dose this mean?

also

VT=V1=V2=V3=ect..

i know VT is The voltage of the source but what is V1 V2 V3?

load refers to resistance. You can combine two resistors in a circuit that are in parallel by the inverse of the sum equal the inverse of resistor 1 plus inverse of resistor 2.

1/Rsum=(1/R_1)+(1/R_2)

R stands for resistor in the above, just just put R sum in instead of the two reistors, use common sense or examples when you place it tho. You can now determine the Voltage drop using Rsum.

edit: oh and are you sure its not VT=V1+v2+V3...? Gonna need some more information on that question if it is VT=V1=V2=V3
