It depends upon the resistance values. Series resistance is the summation of all of the resistances, but to calculate the parallel is more complicated. Once the total resistance of each configuration is known, find the total current for each then multiply the current by the source voltage and this will provide the power.

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.

Is the power dissipated in a parallel circuit larger than the power dissipated in a serial circuit?

Consider t resistors with same Ohmic values. If they are in series total resistance Rt = R1 + R2. if they are in parallel then total resistance Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. Series connection will have higher resistance.

What is the ratio of equivalent resistance of series and parallel combination of n equal resistance to the equivalent resistance on parallel combination?

The ratio of the equivalent resistance of series combination to the parallel combination of n equal resistors is (n^2 - 1)/n.

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.


How does voltage and resistance behave in a series and a parallel circuit?
