The resistance of two or more resistors in series is the sum of their resistances.
RS = sumI=1,N (RI)
The resistance of two or more resistors in parallel is the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the resistances. This is the same as saying that the conductance of two or more resistors in parallel is the sum of their conductances.
RP = 1 / sumI=1,N (1/RI)

What are advantages of a series combination of resistors?
parallel combination of resistors are used in house circuits
How do you wire Resistors required for led combination circuits?
in series
Could The waveform across resistors have been predicted by kirchhoff's voltage law?
This Law does not talk about wave form
What is rating of resultant resistor when you add two resistors in series combination?
i dont know the aswer, please answer
What are those materials of resistors?
most of the resistors commonly used are carbon resistors
I have three identical resistors all at 100 ohms in what combination can I put them to obtain a resistance of 66.7?
If you have three 100 ohm resistors, and you want an equivalent resistor of 66.7 ohms, put two resistors in series, and then parallel the third resistor across the first two. Resistors in series: R1 + R2 Resistors in parallel: R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2) This example: Two 100 ohm resistors in series: 100 + 100 = 200 A 100 ohm resistor in parallel with a 200 ohm resistor: 100 * 200 / (100 + 200) = 66.7
6 equal resistors of 1 ohm each are connected to form the sides of a hexagon ABCDEF calculate the resistance offered by the combination if the current enters at A and leaves at D?
1.5 ohms. Two 3 ohm resistors in parallel.
What is carbon composition resistors?
Carbon composition resistors are resistors that are made with carbon or graphite mixed with a binding material. It's one type of resistors among several. There are also carbon-film resistors and metal-film resistors. Out of all the resistors, carbon-film resistors have the greatest tolerances and changes to temperature fluctations. Thus, they are used in applications where precision isn't critical and where temperature will not change drastically.
What term remains the same across all the resistances in a parallel combination of resistances?
The voltage across the resistors will remain constant.
Why is resistance more in parallel combination?
Resistors in parallel have a LOWER combined resistance than either alone, not a higher one.
How do you find the resistance of a series circuit with n identical resistors?
The total resistance of resistors in series is simply the sum of the resistance values of those resistors. If the resistors are identical, then you can multiply the resistance of one of them by the number of resistors in the circuit.
Who invented resistors?
Otis f.boykin invented resistors
