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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Conversely, the higher the impedance (assuming voltage remains constant), the lower the current. Imagine two unequally sized resistors in parallel. The current flowing through one resistor depends on ...

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 ...

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 ...
