How will you conclude that the same potential difference (voltage) exists across three resistors connected in a parallel arrangement to a battery?

  • A
    By measuring the current through each resistor.
  • B
    By measuring the potential difference across each resistor using a voltmeter connected in parallel.
  • C
    By measuring the total resistance of the circuit.
  • D
    By measuring the power consumed by each resistor.
