Parallel resistance refers to 2 or more resistors where the input sides are connected together and the output sides are connected together. The formula to calculate it is

the inverse of the total resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the inverses of the individual resistances.

1/R (total) = 1/R (1) + 1/R (2) + 1/R (3) + …

Resistance is connected in parallel with voltmeter or say, voltmeter is connected in parallel with resistance.


Why is resistance less when resistors are join in parallel?

What do you mean? In a parallel circuit, the combined (or effective) resistance is less than any individual resistance.


A piece of copper wire was cut into n equal parts these parts are connected in parallel how will the resistance of the parallel combination compare with the resistance of the wire?

The resulting resistance of the parallel combination will be the resistance of the original wire divided by n squared.

What is the ratio of equivalent resistance of series and parallel combination of n equal resistance to the equivalent resistance on parallel combination?

The ratio of the equivalent resistance of series combination to the parallel combination of n equal resistors is (n^2 - 1)/n.


Is the sum of the resistance in a parallel circuit always excessds the total resistance in a circuit?

Not sure what you mean. The equivalent (total) resistance in a parallel circuit is less than any individual resistance.

What is a resistance network?

A resistance 'network' consists of a number of resistors connected together in series, or in parallel, or in series-parallel, or as a complex circuit. A 'complex' circuit is one that is not series, parallel, or series-parallel.


Why is resistance more in parallel combination?

Resistors in parallel have a LOWER combined resistance than either alone, not a higher one.


Does the highest or lowest resistance dominate a parallel circuit?

The total effecive resistance of several individual resistances in parallel is less than the smallest individual resistance, so in that sense I guess you'd have to say that the lowest resistance 'dominates' the character of the whole parallel circuit.


What is advantage of a parallel circuit?
