What is voltage drop and why is it important in branch circuit design?

• A. The loss of voltage along conductors due to resistance and current; excessive drop can cause equipment underperformance.
• B. The maximum voltage a circuit can carry safely under fault conditions.
• C. The rate at which voltage oscillates in an alternating current system.
• D. The ability of a conductor to resist temperature rise.

Answer: (A)
