Answer:
In many situations, several electrical devices are connected to the same power supply. There are two basic methods of connecting resistors or other devices together. They are called series and parallel connections.
The derivation of the formula for effective resistance for series and parallel resistors can be found at the end of this post.
Effective Resistance Of Resistors
Resistors In Series
resistors in series
If individual resistors are connected from end to end, the resistors are said to be connected in series. The effective resistance, R, of three resistors of resistances R1, R2; and R3 connected in series (shown in the figure) is given by:
R
=
R
1

R
2

R
3
In general, if there are n resistors in series, the effective resistance R is given by:
R

Note: In a series connection, the effective resistance, R, is always larger than the largest of the individual resistances.
Resistors In Parallel
resistors in parallel
If each end of individual resistors are connected together to one another as one, the resistors are said to be connected in parallel.
The effective resistance, R, of three resistors of resistances R1, R2 and R3 connected in parallel is given by:
