Connecting many resistors in parallel, will ____________ the resistance of the circuit.
Answers
Answer:
DECREASE THE TOTAL RESISTANCE OF THE CIRCUIT.
Explanation:
FOR EXAMPLE ,
LET TWO RESISTORS ARE TAKEN,R1=10 AND R2=10
WHEN CONNECTED IN SERIES,
R NET= R1+R2
= 10+10
=20 OHMS.
WHEN CONNECTED IN PARALLEL,
R NET =R1R2/(R1+R2)
=10*10/20
= 5 OHMS.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
Answer:
It will always be less than any of them but the term “very large” or very small” has no numerical value. The equation for many resistors in parallel can be a little confusing to explain in words but in the simplest case where all the same value., it the resistor value divided by the number of the same size values. For 2 resistors it half the value 3, 1/3, 10 is 1/10 and so on. So even adding a million ohms in parallel will decrease the total value by 1/1000000
Anything in parallel always makes it less.
