eq1) Rseries = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...

eq2) Rparallel = (R1-1 + R2-1 + R3-1 + ...)-1 or eq3) Rparallel = (R1 x R2) / (R1 + R2)

Note the second Rparallel equation can be used for only two resistors.

STEP 1 - Combine all parallel resistance into series resistances using eq2 or eq3.

STEP 2 - Combine all series resistances into a single resistance using eq1.

STEP 3 - Done.

hope this helps.

How do you calculate the time constant in a series resistor?

A resistor by itself has no time constant. For a circuit to have a time constant it must contain either capacitors or inductors.

if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.


How to find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit?

To find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). So, you can calculate the potential difference by multiplying the current flowing through the resistor by the resistance value of the resistor.

A 120 ohm resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. What is the current running through the 60 ohm resistor?

To calculate the current running through the 60 ohm resistor in a parallel circuit, you first need to find the total resistance of the circuit. For a parallel circuit, the reciprocal of the total resistance (1/RT) is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3). Once you find the total resistance, you can use Ohm's Law (I = V/R) to calculate the current running through the 60 ohm resistor.

Does a resistor reduce current or voltage in an electrical circuit?

A resistor reduces the flow of current in an electrical circuit, which in turn affects the voltage across the resistor.


How does ohm's law works in a resistor circuit?

Ohm's law states that voltage is resistance times current. In a resistor circuit, knowing two of voltage, current, or resistance, you can calculate the third.Actually, this applies to any circuit, be it resistor, capacitor, or inductor. Ohm's law still applies - it just gets more complex when the phase angle of current is not the same as the phase angle of voltage.
