Is it possible to connect a group of resistors of value R in such a way that the equivalent resistance is less than R?
Yes. When resistors are connected in "parallel" (all the left ends connected together and all the right ends connected together) the effective resistance is always less then the smallest resistor in the group. For example If you connected a 2 ohm in parallel with a 4 ohm the effective resistance is 1.33 ohm. To your question; if you connect N equal resistors R in parallel the effective resistance would be R/N . The formula for calculating effective resistance R of a group R1, R2, R3, ... in parallel is: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + .... Note; write the right side as a single fraction by getting a common denomenator then invert to get R.
What is the relationship between total resistance and the resistance across each load?
There is no such thing as 'resistance across' a load! The correct term is 'resistance of a load'.To answer your question, it depends on how the loads are connected. If they are connected in series, for example, the total resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. If they are connected in parallel, then you must use the following equation: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + etc.For any other connection, you will have to work it out individually.
Does voltage split equally in parallel?
The voltage going into each parallel node will be equal to the voltage of the node before it, as long as the resistance is the same. For example, if you have a current of 5 volts split between two 1k ohm resistors, each 1k ohm will have 5 volts before the resistor drops the voltage.
What is nonlinear resistance?
A nonlinear resistance is a resistance which is different for different voltages ie current is not proportional to voltage. An example of this is the filament of an incandescent lamp.
What a few example of non linear resistance?
Two examples of non linear resistance is a diode and a light bulb.
What dose in parallel mean?
parallel means they will never cross each other. take a example when a resistance connected in parallel then a current flowing through it(both resistance) is not same depended on the value of each resistance. while in the series circuit current values is same for both resistance. parallel lines are drawn below:- series lines:- -------
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.
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.
Why are resistances parallel to short circuits neglected in a circuit?
You can consider a short circuit to be a resistor with R=0 Ohms. It is then clear by the equation for calculation of parallel resistance that the combined resistance of a resistor in parallel to a short circuit is 0. Consider the following example with R1= 1k Ohms and R2= 0 Ohms: Rtotal = R1*R2 / (R1+R2) = R1*0 / R1 = 0 Ohms.
How do you place 3 resistance to get the total resistance of 1 ohm?
It depends on the resistance of each resistor. If each resistor, for example, is 0.333 ohm, then you could connect them in series. If each resistor, for example, is 3 ohms, then you could connect them in parallel.
Is a straw an example of a parallel line?
Yes , yes it is an example of a parallel line.

In parallel circuit whathappens to the total resistance if one branch opens-Provide an example?
In a parallel circuit, each load added subtracts from total resistance. When one or more loads is removed from a parallel circuit, the total resistance is increased, reducing the total amperage draw. The less resistance a load has, the more current can pass through. This is part of Ohm's law. The mathematical equation that describes Ohm's law is: I=V/R , where I is the current in amperes, V is the potential difference in volts,and R is a circuit parameter called the resistance For example : The humble light-bulb is rated by the watts it uses. The amount of watts used by a light-bulb is calculated using Ohm's law. With the resistance of the bulb's filament and the voltage the bulb is designed to operate with, one can derive the amperage the bulb will draw. The amperage is then multiplied by the voltage to show wattage. Using Ohm's law : With the resistance of a 40watt 120volt light-bulb, only 0.33amps is able to pass through the bulb's 363ohm filament at 120volts. A lamp that has two 40watt bulbs inplace, and the two bulbs are in parallel, the circuit will have a resistance of 179ohms and draw 0.67amps which is 80watts at 120volts.
