Calculate parallel and series resistance

A parallel and series resistance calculator is a tool that allows you to calculate the total resistance of a parallel or series circuit . A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit in which the components are connected in parallel. This means that current can flow through each component independently of the current in the other components . A series circuit is an electrical circuit in which the components are connected in series . This means that current must flow through each component before it reaches the next component .

To calculate the total resistance of a parallel circuit, you need to know the individual resistances of the components . Using Ohm's law, you can calculate the current through each component. The total current through the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual currents. The total resistance of the parallel circuit is then equal to the voltage divided by the total current . To calculate the total resistance of a series circuit, you also need to know the individual resistances of the components . The total resistance of the series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances of each component .
