How to find Equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors?
To find equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors, start simple and expand... Find the smallest part of the circuit, such as a pair of resistors in series or a pair of resistors in parallel, and compute the equivalent single resistor value. Repeat that process, effectively covering more and more of the circuit, until you arrive at a single resistance that is equivalent to the circuit. For resistors in series: RTOTAL = R1 + R2 For resistors in parallel: RTOTAL = R1R2/(R1+R2)
How do you connect several resistances if you want to decrease in total resistance without reducing the number of resistors?
The resistors should be connected in parallel .
How are parallel resistors connected?
If you need a resistor of a certain value, and you have no resistors with small enough values,you can create the one you need by connecting several of those you have in parallel.The effective net resistance of resistors in parallel is always less than the smallest individual.And the more resistors you add in parallel, the smaller the net effective resistance becomes.
How many 75K resistors must be put in parallel to provide a total resistance of 15K?
5000 For Parallel resistors: Rtotal = R / N Rtotal is total resistance R = Value of resistors N = number of resistors 15 = 75000 / N N = 5000
Which is the total resistance of a circuit that contains twenty 100 ohms resistors connected in parallel?
When resistors of the same value are wired in parallel, the total equivalent resistance (ie the value of one resistor that acts identically to the group of parallel resistors) is equal to the value of the resistors divided by the number of resistors. For example, two 10 ohm resistors in parallel give an equivalent resistance of 10/2=5Ohms. Three 60 ohm resistors in parallel give a total equivalent resistance of 60/3 = 20Ohms. In your case, four 200 Ohm resistors in parallel give 200/4 = 50 Ohms total.

Does you add the shorted resistors in finding the total resistance?
When resistors are wired in series, their resistances are added to find the total resistance. If they are run in parallel, or series-parallel, the formula is different
What picture represents two resistors wired in parallel?
It represents that two resistors are connected in parallel.
How do you connect several resistances if you want to decrease in total resistance without reducing the number of resistors?
The resistors should be connected in parallel .
What are advantages of a series combination of resistors?
parallel combination of resistors are used in house circuits
What is your observation of resistors in parallel resistors?
RParallel = 1 / Summationi=1toN (1 / Ri)
Two resistors are connected in parallel to a battery What must the votlage across these two resistors?
Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.
How do resistors act in parallel?
Parallel resistors act like a resistor smaller than the smallest parallel resistor. Calculate as 1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3...)

Does power decrease when adding resistors in parallel circuit?
no

Can two electric resistors connect in both series and parallel?
yes two resistors can connect both in series and parallel because when you connect two resistors in a closed loop, the same intensity of current flows across them and also they are connected to the same nodes which are the conditions for series and parallel connections respectively.
