Total resistance of parallel resistors is always less than the?

The smallest resistor.


How does electricity react to resistances in parallel and in series?

Resistances in series act just as if they were one single resistor. The value of the single resistor is the sum of the individual resistors connected in series ... Ra + Rb + Rc etc. When several resistors are in series, the effective total is greater than the biggest one. Resistance in parallel act just as if they were one single resistor. The reciprocal of the value of the single resistor is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistors connected in parallel ... Total effective resistance = 1 divided by (1/Ra + 1/Rb + 1/Rc + etc.) When several resistors are in parallel, the effective total is less than the smallest one. Once you figure out the effective value of the series- or parallel-combination of many resistors, you handle them as if they were one single resistor, and you can work with the voltage and current: Current through any resistance = (Voltage across it) divided by (its resistance).

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.

What is minimum size resistor in watts to use with a 9 volt 900 ohm resistor?

Take your pick:P = V x I (Power = Voltage x Current)or:P = V2 / R (Power = Voltage2 / Resistance)or:P = I2 *R (Power = Current2 x Resistance)(the last two equations come from combining the ohms law equation R=V/I with the power equation P=VxI)In the question above you have resistance and voltage therefore:P = V2 / R = 92 / 900 = 0.090W = 90mW(i believe 0.125W is the smallest resistor you can get)hope that helps
