Frequently Asked Questions
How to calculate the total resistance of the series circuit?
The total resistance of the series circuit can be calculated using the formula: Rt = R1+R2+R3. Here, Rt represents the total resistance, R1, R2, R3 are the resistances of each resistor in the series.
How to calculate the total resistance of 2 resistors connected in parallel?
The total resistance of 2 resistors connected in parallel can be calculated using the formula: Rt = R1R2/(R1+R2). Here, Rt represents the total resistance, R1 and R2 are the resistances of each resistor in the parallel circuit.
How to calculate the total resistance of 3 or more resistors connected in parallel?
The total resistance of 3 or more resistors connected in parallel can be calculated using the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + —— + 1/Rn. Here, Rt represents the total resistance, R1, R2, R3, Rn are the resistances of each resistor in the parallel circuit.
