The smallest resistor.
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.
Three resistors in series have a higher total resistance than three resistors in parallel. In a series configuration, the total resistance is simply the sum of the individual resistances (R_total = R1 + R2 + R3). In contrast, for resistors in parallel, the total resistance is less than the smallest individual resistor and is calculated using the formula 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3. Therefore, series resistors result in greater resistance compared to parallel resistors.
In a parallel circuit, the equivalent resistance is always less than the resistance of the individual resistors. This occurs because the total current can split across multiple paths, reducing the overall resistance. As more resistors are added in parallel, the equivalent resistance continues to decrease. This behavior contrasts with series circuits, where the equivalent resistance is the sum of all resistors and is always greater than any individual resistor.
5000 For Parallel resistors: Rtotal = R / N Rtotal is total resistance R = Value of resistors N = number of resistors 15 = 75000 / N N = 5000
The resistors should be connected in parallel .
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.

When resistors are wired in series, their resistances are added to find the total resistance. If they are run in parallel, or series-parallel, the formula is different

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.

Resistors in parallel work just like highway lanes in parallel. -- The more lanes there are, the more traffic they can carry. -- Any number of lanes in parallel are always wider than the widest single lane, and can carry more traffic than the widest single lane can. "wide lane" = low resistance "narrow lane" = "high resistance" "traffic" = "electric current"
Two eight-ohm resistors in series would have a total resistance of 16 ohms. Two eight-ohm resistors in parallel would have a total resistance of four ohms.
Adding more resistors in parallel always decreases the total effective resistance.So the total effective resistance of an infinite number of them would be zero ohms.Nice ! To build a superconducting ring, all you need is an infinite number of resistors.You don't need the liquid helium, and it superconducts at room temperature !
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.
