Can someone explain parallel and series resistors?With formulae and egs.
Answers
Answer:
In a series circuit, the sum of the voltages consumed by each individual resistance is equal to the source voltage. Components connected in parallel are connected along multiple paths so that the current can split up; the same voltage is applied to each component.
Answer:
series connection is when we attach the rasistors one after another. thats why the total resistance here is calculated by adding the magnitude of the resistors
RT=R1+R2+R3+.......
In parallel connection the Resistors are in parallel if their terminals are connected to the same two nodes. The equivalent overall resistance is smaller than the smallest parallel resistor.
1/RT=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3+......
in this picture figure *a* shows the series connection and figure*b* shows parallel connection
