In this case, to get the equivalent resistance, first you use the parallel formula (1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2) to calculate the equivalent resistors in parallel. Then you calculate the series resistance of this combination, with the other resistor.

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 happens as a current flows through a parallel circuit?

if the circuit is a series circuit (all loads wired in a single line , one after the other ) then the current will be the same in any part of the circuit . if there are several different paths for the current to take , then each path will carry a different percentage of the total current . when each of these different current values are added together , they will equal the total supplied current.


A stop switch is wired in series or parallel?

A stop switch is typically wired in series with the load it controls. This configuration ensures that when the switch is open (in the "off" position), it interrupts the current flow, effectively stopping the operation of the device or circuit. Wiring it in parallel would allow the current to bypass the switch, which would defeat its purpose.

What is the current in a circuit with 9 volts 3 ohms 2 ohms and 4 ohms?

The current in the circuit will depend on how the three resistors are wired. Series? Parallel? Series parallel? With the resistors in series, 3, 2 and 4 ohms will add to 9 ohms. As I = E/R, I = 9 V / 9 ohms = 1 A. With the resistors in parallel, the 3, 2 and 4 ohm resistors will draw 3 A, 4.5 A and 2.25 A respectively, and the total current will be the sum of the branch currents, or 3 A + 4.5 A + 2.25 A = 9.75 A. There are 3 different series parallel circuits possible, and more investigation will be necessary to solve for them.


What are the main condition for resistors in parallel?

Two resistors wired in parallel means that both resistors are soldered together to equal the value of a smaller resistor value. Both resistors will be connected to the same line on the circuit board and then both will terminate on the same final line they are assigned to. Thus, a pair of 100k ohm resistors can take the place of one 50k ohm.

Consider two identical resistors wired in series one behind the other If there is an electric current through the combination the current in the second resistor is?

Two resistors wired in series (no mater if they have the same resistor value or not) will always have the same amount of current flowing through them. Therefore, the current flowing through the second resistor will be equal to the current flowing through the first one. The current through every component in a series circuit is the same. The voltage across every component in a parallel circuit is the same.


What is the equivalent resistance if six 18 kOhm resistors are connected in 1. series 2. parallel as was asked by Mackey90 on 8 December 2008?

6 separate 18kOhm resistors wired in series make a total resistance of:18k+18k+18k+18k+18k+18k which is 108 kOhm.6 separate 18kOhm resistors wired in parallel make a total resistance of:1/[(1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k) + (1/18k)] which is 3 kOhm.

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.
