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 ...

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 ...

Of course, now you have two 40 ohm resistors, but when you put them in parallel you get the 20 ohms you desire. You also used four times the amount of wire, but there’s no free lunch.

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 ...

voltage regulators can be used in parallel to double output current capability—if a means of forcing current sharing is provided. One circuit approach uses sense resistors in series with the ...

That’s the same law that first year electrical students apply to determine the value of one resistor that’s in parallel with another resistor. Let’s look at that first year problem, first. You have ...

This is possible but not easy, and it needs careful layout design. Resistors may be connected in parallel with voltage-sense connections made to just one of the resistors, provided the track ...

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 ...

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 ...
