Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the total resistance in a parallel circuit with two resistors, R1 and R2?
  • Step 1: Identify the values of the two resistors, R1 and R2.
  • Step 2: Calculate the reciprocal of R1, which is 1/R1.
  • Step 3: Calculate the reciprocal of R2, which is 1/R2.
  • Step 4: Add the two reciprocals together: 1/R1 + 1/R2.
  • Step 5: Take the reciprocal of the sum from Step 4 to find the total resistance: 1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2).
