Question

Explain the effective resistance of a series network and parallel network.

Answer 1

the effective resistance of a series network is the sum of the individual resistances and the value is higher than each individual resistance.
Reff = R1+R2+R3+..........
the effective resistance of a parallel network is
Reff = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +.......
THE effective resistance of a parallel network is always lower than each individual resistance

Answer 2

Effective or Equivalent Resistance in series combination = sum of all resistance of resistors individually...

Effective or Equivalent Resistance in parallel combination = sum of reciprocal of resistance of resistors...
