Calculate the total resistance of resistors connected in parallel.
Result
56,8966 Ω
Total resistance: 56.8966 Ω
Result in all units
Step-by-step solution
1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + …
What Is Parallel Resistance?
Resistors connected in parallel are connected between the same two points. The total resistance comes out even lower than the smallest resistor.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
1 ÷ R = 1 ÷ R₁ + 1 ÷ R₂ + …
- Enter the values of the parallel resistors.
- For two resistors, R = (R₁ × R₂) ÷ (R₁ + R₂).
Frequently Asked Questions
How does voltage behave in a parallel connection?
The voltage is the same across every branch; the current is shared according to the resistance of the branches.
