The Resistance in Series/Parallel Calculator helps compute the total resistance of circuits containing multiple resistors arranged in series, parallel, or a combination of both. Accurately determining the total resistance is essential for analyzing and designing electrical circuits.
Series and Parallel Resistance Formulas
Resistance in Series:
R_total = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ... + Râ‚™In a series circuit, the resistances simply add up.
Resistance in Parallel:
1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + ... + 1/Râ‚™In a parallel circuit, the reciprocal of the total resistance is the sum of the reciprocals of individual resistances.
How to Use the Calculator
- Select whether the resistors are connected in series or parallel.
- Enter the resistance values in ohms (Ω).
- The calculator will instantly provide the total resistance.
