Question

What do you mean by Parallel Resistors?

Answer 1

Step 1: Circuit for Resistors in Parallel combination

Resistance connected in parallel combination:

Step 2: Explanation for Parallel Resistors

1. Resistors are parallel if their terminals are connected to the same two nodes.
2. In such circuits, the current is branched out and recombined when branches meet at a common point.
3. In a parallel circuit the voltage is the same across the resistors.
4. The following relation gives the equivalent resistance of a parallel circuit here

$\frac{1}{R_{total}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+........+\frac{1}{R_n}$
