Detailed Solution

Concept: Let's first define a parallel circuit: A parallel circuit is one in which every component is connected to the same collection of electrically common terminals. Another way to put it is that the terminals on the two modules are how they are connected.
Since you connected all of the parallel devices with cables that are thought to have zero resistance by definition, all of the parallel devices have the same voltage. All of the modules must have the same voltage because the voltage is the same (ideally) at both ends of the cable.
One advantage of parallel circuits is that they guarantee that all of the circuit's components receive the same voltage from the source. For example, the brightness of both bulbs in a sequence of lights is the same.
The voltage or potential difference is the same in the parallel circuit but current may vary .
In a parallel circuit all the components are connected to the same electrical common points so the voltage is the same.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
