Are all plugins able to use the same jQuery version?

I am wondering that because if I use two plugins for example and my first plugin might not use the same version as the second.

jQuery isn't fully backwards compatible. It does a nice job overall but sometimes you will run into bugs if a plugin was made with an old version in mind. This is true about almost any software and programming language. Often times, depending on the popularity of the plugin, the creators will update it accordingly. Check their docs for this. Other times you might have to do the debugging on your own.

The Plug-in provide will generally indicate what version dependencies the plug-in has in the documentation. With a little luck, any that you wish to use will at least have some overlap in the version ranges they require.

What do you mean by overlap?

Let's say one plug-in is documented to work with versions 3.2 - 3.7 and another works with 3.5 - 3.9. The :"overlap" would be versions 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7. Any of those versions would work with both plug-ins.
