35 ohms if they are in series as R(total) = R1+R2+R3

If they are in parallel then the formula is 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

Which in this case gives 2.86 ohms.

The total resistance when resistors are in parallel is ALWAYS LESS than the lowest individual value.

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.


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 .


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.


How can you connect resistors to produce an equivalent resistance which is the same as the resistance of each individual resistor?

You can connect 4 resistors in series-parallel, i.e. two in series, both in parallel with another two, and the effective resistance would be the same as one resistor. Similarly, you can connect nine resistors in 3x3 series-parallel, or 16 resistors in 4x4 series-parallel, etc. to get the same resistance of one resistor.


Do 5 1 ohm resistors equal 1 5 ohm resistor?

it depends on how we are connecting them.if 5 1 ohm resistors are connected in series then the equivalent resistance is 5 ohms.if they are connected in parallel then the equi resistance is 1/5 ohms.

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.


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 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.


When 2 resistors are connected in parallel r1r2 are?

Two resistors connected in parallel are 1/2 the sum of their resistance. The resistance of two resistors connected in series is the sum of their resistance. For example: The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in parallel is 100+200 divided by 2 = 150 ohms. The total resistance of a 100 ohm resistor connected to a 200 ohm resistor in series 100+200= 300 ohms.

How do you calculate the equivalent resistance connected together in parallel?

Let the equivalent resistance be R and let there be 3 resistors namely R1,R2 and R3, connected in a parallel way. Now, the relation is: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

How to find Equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors?

To find equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors, start simple and expand... Find the smallest part of the circuit, such as a pair of resistors in series or a pair of resistors in parallel, and compute the equivalent single resistor value. Repeat that process, effectively covering more and more of the circuit, until you arrive at a single resistance that is equivalent to the circuit. For resistors in series: RTOTAL = R1 + R2 For resistors in parallel: RTOTAL = R1R2/(R1+R2)
