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 ...

The oscilloscope screenshot in [Paul’s] post is really impressive. Using two 1 Ohm resistors in parallel on the microcontroller’s power line he’s able to monitor the chip in slow startup mode.

When multiple resistors are configured so the current splits into many branches from a single source, they're said to be connected in parallel. And in the case of parallel connection, you want to ...

These are DC circuits, with resistors in series and parallel formations. You'll recall that series formations occur when resistors are connected along the same path, so they have the same current ...

That’s just not something I have on hand, and the series/parallel approach will get tiresome fast. Ages ago, I had read about trimming resistors by hand, but had assumed that it was the domain ...

Complex circuits may have some resistors connected in series, and some connected in parallel. For example, the following combination of resistors shows two resistors connected in series ...

Not all resistors are the same ... Dedicated power supplies also allow the connection of LEDs or LED strings in parallel for distributed lighting systems, but normally the current in each parallel ...

In this circuit the following applies. When resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents through each resistor. The currents in the branches of a ...

Sometimes, it's the little things that are just so darn handy to have around. I'm often confronted with having to choose a parallel pair of resistors to get as close as possible to some non-standard ...
