When two resistors are connected in parallel - 
Resultant resistance, RP = 4 Ω 
1 over R subscript p space equals 1 over R subscript 1 plus 1 over R subscript 2

1 over R subscript p equals fraction numerator R subscript 1 plus R subscript 2 over denominator R subscript 1 R subscript 2 end fraction space
R subscript p space equals space fraction numerator R subscript 1 R subscript 2 over denominator R subscript 1 plus R subscript 2 end fraction space
4 space equals fraction numerator R subscript 1 R subscript 2 over denominator R subscript 1 plus R subscript 2 end fraction space... space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis space

W h e n space c o n n e c t e d space i n space s e r i e s comma space
R e s u l tan t space r e s i s tan c e comma space R subscript S space equals space 8 space capital omega space

8 space equals space R subscript 1 plus R subscript 2 space... space left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis space

4 equals fraction numerator R subscript 1 R subscript 2 over denominator 8 end fraction
R subscript 1 R subscript 2 space equals space space 32 space

R subscript 1 space equals space fraction numerator 32 space over denominator R subscript 2 end fraction space... space left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis space
A f t e r space S u b s t i t u t i o n comma space y o u space w i l l space g e t space e q u a t i o n comma space

R subscript 1 squared space minus 8 space R subscript 1 space plus space 32 space equals space 0 space
