So guys something that I want you to to notice okay, it doesn't really matter if it's that circuit but otherwise let me just refer to that circuit. You see wherever we've got a parallel connection let's say this is a resistor and again this is a resistor and this is 2 ohms let's say this is 4 ohms or let's say 14 ohms okay.
So guys you obviously know that you've got current, current flowing from the positive to the negative side of the battery, so you'll be having a current moving like that okay and when it gets to the parallel connection you will have a portion of the current passing through that side and again you will have the other current passing through that side.
And when they get there they join and they continue along that wire okay so what I wanted to explain is that if you've got a potential difference or if you've got a voltmeter connected across the two ohms resistor let's say it's V and the reading is 7 volts so guys this V which is 7 volts of 2 ohms is the same V as connected on that 14 ohms okay.
Very much important guys if you've got the voltage across the 2 ohms resistor just know that that same voltage is the same voltage across the 14 ohms resistor okay. So that means V connected across the two ohms is the same as V connected across that other resistor okay.
So that's what I wanted to explain with regards to a voltmeter connected across one of the resistors in parallel and the other thing that I want to explain is that you can see you've got two ohms, you've got 14 ohms which are connected in parallel when you use that formula to combine these two resistors to form one single resistor.
