equivalent resistance
Asked by TABISH | 21st May, 2012, 08:32: PM
Expert Answer:
When two resistors are in series, you add the elements together. When two elements are in parallel you multiply them and divide that by the sum. ie: parallel elements 7 ohms and 8 ohms (8*7)/(8+7).
If there are more than 2 in parallel however, just fill in this:
1/Req=1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/RN
Req is the final answer of the equivalent resistance.
Rn means you keep adding the reciprocal of the other resistors in parallel.
