Best Answer

R=1/(1/ R1 +1/ R2 +1/ R3 +.........) Where R is the total external resistance(effective resistance) in an electric circuit.

Is the sum of the resistance in a parallel circuit always excessds the total resistance in a circuit?

Not sure what you mean. The equivalent (total) resistance in a parallel circuit is less than any individual resistance.


What is a resistance circuit?

It does not contain unidirectional outputAnswerA purely resistive circuit is an 'ideal' circuit that contains resistance, but not inductance or capacitance.


What is the equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit you have connected?

In principle, it is infinite. I have not connected a parallel circuit in ages.

What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?

No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.


How do resistance behave in parallel circuit?

in a parallel circuit resistance decreases increasing the current.


Is series parallel the same as parallel?

No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.


What is a resistance network?

A resistance 'network' consists of a number of resistors connected together in series, or in parallel, or in series-parallel, or as a complex circuit. A 'complex' circuit is one that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel.


What happens to resistance when resistors are wired in parallel delta circuit?

What do you mean by a 'parallel delta' circuit -is there such a connection.


Are parallel circuits like series circuits?

They are not exactly the same. A series circuit is one complete circuit with not other pathways. A parallel circuit is a complete circuit with multiple pathways . The resistance of a parallel circuit is completely different from the resistance of a series circuit. Therefore, this affects the voltage and the current produced,
