Title: Resistors in Series and Parallel Post by: astuckey on Sep 12, 2018 With the three resistors connected in parallel, they measured total current of 1.48 A. Is this an unexpected result? Explain your answer.
Title: Re: Resistors in Series and Parallel Post by: gcd99br on Sep 12, 2018 When resistors are in parallel, the voltage is the same for resistor. The total current is the sum of the currents.
I = V รท R Total current = V/R1 + V/R2 + V/R3 = 1.48 The following equation is used to determine the equivalent resistance of a parallel circuit. 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 |
