The combined resistance is 7.6049 ohms.
a) Put 2 of the resistors in series to make a 200 ohm resistor. Then put the 100, 100, and 200 ohm resistors in parallel for 40 ohms. b) Put 2 resistors in parallel for 50 ohms. Put the 50, 100, and 100 ohm resistors in series for 250 ohms. c) Put 2 resistors in parallel for 50 ohms. Repeat with other 2 resistors. Put the two 50 ohm resistors in series for 100 ohms. This configuration can withstand 4 times the wattage of each individual resistor.
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.
What would the measured ohms be for two 100 ohm resistors wired in series? Two 100 ohm resistors wired in series measure 200 ohms.
If the two resistors are in series, then the larger one is 2 ohms.(The smaller one is 1 ohm. Their combined series total is 3 ohms. 9/3 = 3 amps.)If the two resistors are in parallel, then the larger one is 9 ohms.(The smaller one is 4.5 ohms. The combined parallel total is 3 ohms. 9/3 = 3 amps.)

The equivalent resistance of four resistors in parallel, the resistors being 2, 4, 6, and 8 ohms, is 0.96 ohms. RP = 1 / summationI=1toN (1/RI)
Three 8.0-W resistors are connected in parallel. What is their equivalent resistance?
Two eight-ohm resistors in series would have a total resistance of 16 ohms. Two eight-ohm resistors in parallel would have a total resistance of four ohms.
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.
The equivalent total resistance of resistors connected in parallel is lower than the resistance of the smallest resistor. The general formula for calculating the total resistance of n resistors in parallel is Rt = 1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... 1/Rn) For two resistors in parallel, the formula simplifies to Rt = (R1 x R2) / (R1 + R2) If R1 = 10K ohms and R2 = 4.2K ohms, the total resistance of R1 in parallel with R2 is (10,000 x 4,200) / (10,000 + 4,200) = 2957.7 ohms. The total resistance is less than the smallest resistor (4.2K). For three resistors in parallel, the formula is Rt = 1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3) If R1 = 100 ohms, R2 = 68 ohms, R3 = 1K ohm, the total resistance of these three resistors connected in parallel is: Rt = 1 / (1/100 + 1/68 + 1/1000) = 38.9 ohms The total resistance (38.9 ohms) is lower than the smallest resistor (68 ohms).

If two 1-ohm resistors are connected in parallel, their resistance is 0.5 ohms. If they are connected in series, their resistance is 2 ohms. It is not possible to connect only two resistors in series parallel.

The total resistance is 5 ohms. Scroll down to related links and look at "Parallel Resistance Calculator".
Two resistors connected in parallel are 1/2 the sum of their resistance. The resistance of two resistors connected in series is the sum of their resistance. For example: The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in parallel is 100+200 divided by 2 = 150 ohms. The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in series 100+200= 300 ohms.
