What are the relations between individual voltages and the total voltages when resistors are connected in series and in parallel?
-- The current in each individual resistor is
(voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor).
-- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit.
-- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.

How to measure resistance of series combination?
When connected in series, the overall effective resistance of a bunch of individual resistors is the sum of the individual resistances. It's always more than the resistance of any individual. When connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the overall resistance of a bunch of individual resistors is the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. It's always less than the resistance of any individual. When two resistors are connected in parallel, the overall effective resistance of the pair is (the product of the two individual resistances) divided by (the sum of the two individual resistances). It's always less than the smaller individual resistance.
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 .
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.
To connect a pair of resistors so that their equivalent resistance is greater than the resistance of either one should you connect them in series or in parallel?
When many resistances are connected in series, the equivalent resistance is greater than the greatest single resistance. When many resistances are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is less than the smallest single resistance.
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.
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.
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.
Three 8.0-W resistors are connected in series What is their equivalent resistance?
The equivalent resistance of resistors connected in series is simply the sum of their individual resistances. Therefore, the equivalent resistance of three 8.0-W resistors connected in series is 24.0 W.

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.?
