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 picture represents two resistors wired in parallel?

It represents that two resistors are connected in parallel.


How can you determine if resistors are in series or parallel?

Resistors are in series if they are connected end-to-end, creating one path for current to flow. Resistors are in parallel if they are connected side by side, providing multiple paths for current to flow. You can determine if resistors are in series or parallel by examining how they are connected in a circuit.


What are the differences between resistors connected in parallel and resistors connected in series, and how do these configurations affect the overall resistance in a circuit?

Resistors connected in parallel have the same voltage across them, while resistors connected in series have the same current passing through them. In a parallel configuration, the total resistance decreases as more resistors are added, while in a series configuration, the total resistance increases.


What is the difference between connecting resistors in parallel and in series?

When resistors are connected in series, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. When resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance is less than the smallest individual resistance.


Two resistors are connected in parallel to a battery What must the votlage across these two resistors?

Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.


How do you connect several resistances if you want to decrease in total resistance without reducing the number of resistors?

The resistors should be connected in parallel .


Three equal resistors connected in series across a voltage source dissipate a power of 10W what sould be the power desipated if same resistors are connected in parallel?

If three equal resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance will be one-third of the resistance in series. This lower resistance will result in a higher current flowing through the resistors when connected in parallel compared to when they are in series. Therefore, the power dissipated by the resistors in parallel will be greater than 10W.


In a circuit the voltage across all resistores is the same?

It depends upon the connection of the resistors, if the resistors are connected in parallel then the voltage is same where as in case of resistors connected in series the voltage is different across different resistors.


What is the resistance between any two of the corners if Three 3 ohm resistors are connected such that it make triangle.?

2 ohms. It is like connecting two 3 ohm resistors in series and then these two series resistors are connected in parallel with third 3 ohm resistor in parallel


What is the current for two resistors 25 amp and 35 Amp connected in parallel?

"Amp" is not a specification associated with resistors. It could be anything.


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.


A circuit contains a 10 pF capacitor and a 50 pF capacitor connected in parallel.What is the total capacitance of this circuit?

When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance in the circuit in which they are connected is the sum of both capacitances. Capacitors in parallel add like resistors in series, while capacitors in series add like resistors in parallel.
