  1. Why is the resistance in a parallel circuit smaller than the …

    Jul 23, 2016 · And now I have two resistors in parallel, carrying twice as much current as a single resistor. From the perspective of the entire circuit, the "effective resistance" is half (because, …

  2. How to detect if resistors are in parallel or series?

    Nov 4, 2015 · 8 Some circuits are easier to see which resistors are in parallel or series. However, when faced with a more complex circuit, I can't figure out which ones are in series or parallel. I …

  3. Why is voltage equal across the resistors connected in parallel?

    Jun 8, 2021 · "In parallel," by definition, means that the resistors all are connected between the same two nodes. When you measure the Voltage across any one of the resistors, you are by …

  4. Why resistance increase in a series connection and decrease in a ...

    Mar 31, 2023 · 18 I was wondering that why does the equivalent resistance actually increase in a series connection of resistors and why does it actually decrease in a parallel connection of …

  5. Are these 4 resistors connected in series or parallel?

    Dec 19, 2020 · That would mean that the top-left and bottom-right series networks would together be combined in a parallel network. But then this would cause the total resistance of the circuit …

  6. Power dissipated by resistors in series versus in parallel for fixed ...

    Aug 25, 2018 · Do two resistors in parallel dissipate more power for a fixed applied voltage compared to the same two resistors in series?

  7. Determine which circuits are parallel and which are in series

    Oct 22, 2014 · I need to find the Equivalent Resistance across A and B. The problem is, I don't know which one's are in series and which ones are in parallel. How do I identify which ones …

  8. What are the different methods for a resistor circuit that isn't ...

    What are the different approaches to determine the equivalent resistance of nontrivial resistor networks in general, that cannot be reduced by the usual series and parallel rules? (The …

  9. Why do electrons leaving resistors in parallel in a circuit do have …

    Jan 11, 2022 · Thus, the potential difference between both sides of the resistors in parallel is the same is the potential difference between any of the resistors individually. They are essentially …

  10. Why is the current equal when the resistors are in series?

    Jan 15, 2022 · You want to know why the currents in the two resistors have to be exactly the same. And the answer is they don't, in reality you have a small capacitance between the …
