In this article we talk about resistors in parallel, the equivalent resistance and the current divider rule for parallel connection of resistors. Let’s consider this circuit: In circuit 1 we have two ...

Before diving into the intricacies of unequal resistors in parallel, let's establish a fundamental understanding of parallel circuits and resistors. Parallel Circuit: A parallel circuit is ...

Previous tutorials have described that resistors may either be connected as a series circuit or a parallel circuit where the currents and voltages are obtained using Ohm’s Law. To produce more complex ...

Calculate the resistance of the two resistors in parallel. The total resistance of the two resistors in parallel is \({4}\Omega\). When two equal resistors are connected in parallel, the total ...

This circuit contains a \({5}\Omega\) resistor in series with two resistors, \({6}\Omega\) and \({4}\Omega\), which are in parallel. Start by calculating the combined resistance of the two parallel ...
