-- The current in each individual resistor is
(voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor).
-- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit.
-- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.

∙ 12y agoThe relation between individual voltages and total voltage is:
Total voltage= sum of individual voltages.

∙ 11y agoWhen resistors are in series the total voltage gets divded equally across each resistor if all resistors are of same value, while in parallel voltage does not divide.

How to measure resistance of series combination?
When connected in series, the overall effective resistance of a bunch of individual resistors is the sum of the individual resistances. It's always more than the resistance of any individual. When connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the overall resistance of a bunch of individual resistors is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. It's always less than the resistance of any individual. When two resistors are connected in parallel, the overall effective resistance of the pair is (the product of the two individual resistances) divided by (the sum of the two individual resistances). It's always less than the smaller individual resistance.
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 .
In a circuit the voltage across all resistores is the same?
It depends upon the connection of the resistors, if the resistors are connected in parallel then the voltage is same where as in case of resistors connected in series the voltage is different across different resistors.
To connect a pair of resistors so that their equivalent resistance is greater than the resistance of either one should you connect them in series or in parallel?
When many resistances are connected in series, the equivalent resistance is greater than the greatest single resistance. When many resistances are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is less than the smallest single resistance.
A circuit contains a 10 pF capacitor and a 50 pF capacitor connected in parallel.What is the total capacitance of this circuit?
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance in the circuit in which they are connected is the sum of both capacitances. Capacitors in parallel add like resistors in series, while capacitors in series add like resistors in parallel.
What picture represents two resistors wired in parallel?
It represents that two resistors are connected in parallel.

What is the resistance between any two of the corners if Three 3 ohm resistors are connected such that it make triangle.?
2 ohms. It is like connecting two 3 ohm resistors in series and then these two series resistors are connected in parallel with third 3 ohm resistor in parallel

What is the current for two resistors 25 amp and 35 Amp connected in parallel?
"Amp" is not a specification associated with resistors. It could be anything.
When 2 resistors are connected in parallel r1r2 are?
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.

How does the effective resistance of four resistors in parallel compared to the individual resistance?
It depends on the values of the individual resistors. But if each resistor is identical, then the total resistance will be one-quarter that of an individual resistor.
