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"
In parallel resistors, the voltage across each resistor is the same, but the total voltage across all resistors may vary.
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.
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 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.
You can achieve a 30 ohm equivalent resistance by connecting the resistors in a combination of series and parallel. Connect two resistors in series to get 40 ohms, then connect the third resistor in parallel with this combination to achieve a total resistance of 30 ohms.
It represents that two resistors are connected in parallel.

Measure the voltage appearing across each resistor. If they are identical, and equal to the supply voltage, then the resistors are in parallel.
The resistors should be connected in parallel .
parallel combination of resistors are used in house circuits
RParallel = 1 / Summationi=1toN (1 / Ri)
Both resistors will have the voltage of the battery.
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.
Parallel resistors act like a resistor smaller than the smallest parallel resistor. Calculate as 1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3...)
If you need a resistor of a certain value, and you have no resistors with small enough values,you can create the one you need by connecting several of those you have in parallel.The effective net resistance of resistors in parallel is always less than the smallest individual.And the more resistors you add in parallel, the smaller the net effective resistance becomes.
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.
