In this article we talk about resistors in parallel, the equivalent resistance and the current divider rule for parallel connection of resistors. Let’s consider this circuit: In circuit 1 we have two ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

This resistor with bands of red, violet, yellow, and gold has a value of 270,000 ohms (270kΩ) with a tolerance of ±5%. \( \begin{eqnarray*}\text{R}_\text{t ...

Earlier this week, fellow Hack a Day-er [Mike Nathan] reviewed Adafruit’s new iPhone/iPad app Circuit Playground. The comments on [Mike]’s review turned to suggesting ElectroDroid as an alternative to ...

When both terminals of resistors are respectively connected to each terminal of the other resistor or resistors, they are said to be connected in parallel. Resistors can be connected such that they ...

\(\frac{1}{{{R_T}}} = \frac{1}{{{R_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_2}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_3}}}\) ...
