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 ...

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 ...

Potential difference in series circuits Try the experiment online Resistors in series Test your knowledge Resistance ® close resistance (R)How difficult it is for current to flow. increases when ...

When resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents through each resistor. In other words the currents in the branches of a parallel circuit add up to the ...
