Total Resistance-Rt

[admin]

How i can get Total resistance in a parallel circuit.

Rt = 1/ R1 + 1/R2

Rt=?, kindly show how to  calculate,

Hello

 

The correct is   1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2, you can also do Rt=R1*R2/(R1+R2)

Im not sure if that is correct, perhaps maybe Rt=R1+R2/R1(R2)

1/R=1/r1 + 1/r2

so; R = r1*r2/(r1 +r2)

For Parallel Circuit, the general formula is:

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ….+ 1/Rn   where “n” is the number of resistor connected in parallel. This means that the reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the given resistances. For two resistors, 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. Simplifying this equation, Rt = (R1*R2)/(R1 + R2). For three resistors in parallel, 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3. Also equal to Rt = R1*R2*R3/(R2*R3 + R1*R3 + R1*R2). And so on…

1/Rt=1/R1+1/R2+1/R3+………………….+1/Rn

Rt = Total resistance

n = number of parallel circuits

 

Also the same formula can be used for Z
