If a 1 ohm resistor is parallel with a 100 ohm resister what's the total resistance?

If two 1-ohm resistors are connected in parallel, their resistance is 0.5 ohms. If they are connected in series, their resistance is 2 ohms. It is not possible to connect only two resistors in series parallel.

I question you statementy , when you write in 'parallel series'.
Resistors are described as either in 'parallel' or in 'series'.

Is total resistance less than smallest resistor in a series parallel circuit?
no
What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?
the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.
When you short out a resistor in a parallel circuit why does the current lower?
The total resistance of a set of resistors in parallel is found by adding up the reciprocals of the resistance values, and then taking the reciprocal of the total. By removing a resistor the total current will lower. If you short out the parallel circuit as suggested it will take out the fuse that should be protecting the circuit.AnswerShorting-out a resistor in a parallel circuit, will act to short out the entire circuit, therefore, significantly increasing, not lowering, the current! And, as the previous answer indicates, this short-circuit current will operate any protective devices, such as a fuse.In a parallel circuit current does not lower but it will be increase if shorting-out one resistor in the two resistor parallel circuit, the circuit will become very low resistive and the larger current will flow through the short path.
How do you find resistance when you have current and resistance total?
If you are looking for the resistance of each resistor in either a series circuit or a parallel circuit you must measure the current I and the voltage V for each resistor. Then calculate its resistance using Ohms Law R = V / I where I = current (Amps), V = voltage (Volts) and R= resistance (Ohms).
When one load is removed from a parallel circuit the total resistance decreases?
No, the total resistance increases.
What is the total resistance of a 5-ohm resistor and a 10-ohm resistor in a parallel series?
2
Is total resistance less than smallest resistor in a series parallel circuit?
no
Total resistance of parallel resistors is always less than the?
The smallest resistor.
What will happen to the other resistor if the number of resistor decreases?
the voltage across that resistor will increase if it is in series with the other resistors. the current through that resistor will increase if it is in parallel with the other resistors.
When 2 resistors are connected in parallel r1r2 are?
Two resistors connected in parallel are 1/2 the sum of their resistance. The resistance of two resistors connected in series is the sum of their resistance. For example: The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in parallel is 100+200 divided by 2 = 150 ohms. The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in series 100+200= 300 ohms.
How does the effective resistance of four resistors in parallel compared to the individual resistance?
It depends on the values of the individual resistors. But if each resistor is identical, then the total resistance will be one-quarter that of an individual resistor.
A 80 ohm resistor is connected in parallel with another 80 ohm resistorwhat should be the total resistance?
The total resistance would be 40 ohm.
Will putting another resistorin parallel raise or lower the total resistors in circuit?
Placing another resistor in parallel to an existing resistor will lower the total resistance in the circuit. RParallel = 1 / Summationi=1toN (1 / Ri)
Equation for Resistor serial and parallel?
In series, you just add the resistor values together to find the total resistance. In parallel you can use the following equation you can find the total resistance by multiplying the lowest and highest resistor value, the dividing that by the sum of all the resistor values you have in parallel. you could also take the inverse of all the inverses of you resistor values added together.
In parallel what is the total resistance 100ohm's 3K ohm's and 10K ohm's?
A 100 ohm, 3000 ohm, and 10000 ohm resistor in parallel has a total resistance of 95.8 ohms. RParallel = 1 / Summationi=1toN (1 / Ri)
You are just asking that let us assume you have connected 2 or 3 resistors in a circuit and the current flowing through the circuit and from all the resistors will be same but how?
If the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be the sum of the resistances of each resistor, and the current flow will be the same thru all of them. if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the current thru each resistor would depend on the resistance of that resistor, the total resistance would be the inverse of the sum of the inverses of the resistance of each resistor. Total current would depend on the voltage and the total resistance
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.
