Question

Plz give me answer. Determination of the equivalent resistance of two resistors when connected in series and parallel.

Answer 1

R = R1 + R2 in series and R = 1/R1+1/R2 in parallel

Answer 2

Two resistors are said to be in series if they are connected in such a way that one end of one resistor is connected to the starting end of the other. In such a case same current flows through all the resistors. The equivalent resistance Rs in series combination is given as Rs = R1 + R2 where R1 and R2 are the individual resistances of the respective resistors used in series combination. If there are n resistors connected in series, then the above equation becomes: Rs = R1 + R2 + R3 ... Rn
