The rule for finding total resistance in a parallel circuit is that a parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Another rule states that voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. If one of the parallel paths is broken, current will still continue to flow in all the other paths.

If there are 4 ammeters in a parallel ciruit and one reads 0.8 what do the rest read?
If there are 4 ammeters in a parallel ciruit and one reads 0.8, the readings of the rest are indeterminate, because it depends on the individual branch resistance. !st answer, again, but better worded . . . Assuming that the 4 ammeters are in parallel with each other, and otherwise in a series circuit, then they all read the same.
Is overall resistance the same as total resistance?
Yes
What is Hot Resistance?
Hot resistance is your total resistance you can have with out exceeding your wattage limit
How is the total resistance in a series circuit is determined?
The total resistance in a series circuit is determined by adding (summing) the individual resistances of each component in the circuit.
What is the difference between on and off state resistance?
On Circuit Resistance = Close to the total load Resistance. Off Circuit Resistance = Near Infinitive High Resistance.
How much resistance must be connected in series with a 250 ohms inductive reactance to produce a total ciruit impedance of 400 ohms?

When you add resistors that are in a series to a ciruit?
You raise the total resistance by that amount if added in series to a circuit. If you add them in parallel to a circuit then that total resistance will be less than the total of the added circuit.
Which quadrilateral has 2 lines that are parrellel and 2 lines not parrellel?
Trapezoid or Trapezium.
Does a triangle have parrellel sides?
No
How many parrellel lines in a equilatral triangle?
10000000000
What shape has 4 angels and only 1 pair of parrellel lines?
Not sure about angels and parrellel, but a trapezium has four angles and only one pair of parallel lines.
What is the all resistance?
its total resistance in ckt

What is the explanation for the term total peripheral resistance?
Total peripheral resistance is the sum of the resistance of all peripheral vasculature in the systemic circulation.
Does a rectangle have parrellel lines?
Yes opposite lines are parallel
Is overall resistance the same as total resistance?
Yes
What is Hot Resistance?
Hot resistance is your total resistance you can have with out exceeding your wattage limit
