Resistors in Series and Parallel circuits

Resistor In Parallel And Series.


When a resistor is put in parallel into a circuit it works differently to when its put in series. When it is in series all the resistances can be added together to give a total resistance but with parallel circuits it is the number that can be divided equally into each resistance divided by the largest resistance in the ciruit which will give you reisistance. The two formulas are set out like this






Series
