This depends on whether your resistors are in serial or parallel.
If they are in serial, the value of the resistors just adds up, so :
Val(total) = val(single) x n(umber of resistors)
If they are in parallel, each added resistor lowers the total value, while the power rating rises :
Val(t) = 1/ ( val(s) x n)

How many 75K resistors must be put in parallel to provide a total resistance of 15K?
5000 For Parallel resistors: Rtotal = R / N Rtotal is total resistance R = Value of resistors N = number of resistors 15 = 75000 / N N = 5000
Which is the total resistance of a circuit that contains twenty 100 ohms resistors connected in parallel?
When resistors of the same value are wired in parallel, the total equivalent resistance (ie the value of one resistor that acts identically to the group of parallel resistors) is equal to the value of the resistors divided by the number of resistors. For example, two 10 ohm resistors in parallel give an equivalent resistance of 10/2=5Ohms. Three 60 ohm resistors in parallel give a total equivalent resistance of 60/3 = 20Ohms. In your case, four 200 Ohm resistors in parallel give 200/4 = 50 Ohms total.
What is the effect on the total resistance if increase in resistors in series?
That depends ... in a very interesting way ... on whether they are connected in series or in parallel. -- If the resistors are in series, then the total resistance increases when you add another resistor, and it's always greater than the biggest single one. -- If the resistors are in parallel, then the total resistance decreases when you add another resistor, and it's always less than the smallest single one.
How do manufacturers of resistors indicate the value of the resistance?
They use a color code. Colored bands on the resistor that tell the value. Some precision resistors have their value written on them.
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).

The total resistance of a circuit with three 30 ohm resistors in parallel is ohms?
If the parallel resistors are equal, then the total resistance (in this case, with three resistors) will decrease by a factor of 3. I suggest you verify this with the standard formula for parallel resistance: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3, replacing the value 30 for R1, R2, and R3, and calculating R, the combined resistance.

When resistors of the same value are wired in parallel, the total equivalent resistance (ie the value of one resistor that acts identically to the group of parallel resistors) is equal to the value of the resistors divided by the number of resistors. For example, two 10 ohm resistors in parallel give an equivalent resistance of 10/2=5Ohms. Three 60 ohm resistors in parallel give a total equivalent resistance of 60/3 = 20Ohms. In your case, four 200 Ohm resistors in parallel give 200/4 = 50 Ohms total.

Choose true or falseIf all the resistors in a parallel sub-circuit have the same value the total current can be found by multiplying the current by the number of resistors?
False. The total current in a parallel sub-circuit where all resistors have the same value cannot be found by multiplying the current by the number of resistors. In a parallel circuit, the total current depends on the individual resistor values and how they affect the overall resistance of the circuit.
What type of resistors can only have one ohmic value?
Fixed resistors have a single, predetermined ohmic value. These resistors come in various types such as carbon film, metal film, and wirewound, and their resistance value does not change once manufactured.

Four resistors having a value of 100 ohms are connected in parallel what is the total resistance of the circuit?
What would the measured ohms be for two 100 ohm resistors wired in series? Two 100 ohm resistors wired in series measure 200 ohms.
How is electrical resistance decreased?
Ways to reduce electrical resistance: increase the diameter of the conductor, decrease or increase the temperature of conductor (depending on its thermal characteristics), decrease the length of the conductor. A change in the material out of which the conductor is made can decrease resistance, too. And there is the phenomenon of superconductivity. In a simple circuit the resistance can be lowered by adding resistors in parallel. The total circuit resistance will then decrease. You can also reduce resistance by substituting resistors of lower value, or by adjusting a potentiometer, or pot, to a lower value.
