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 ...

Situation: You’re an IT person new to radio broadcast engineering and are given the keys to an AM transmitter site. The manager says to go out and get familiar with the equipment. The site reminds you ...

When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same. When resistors are connected in series, the total of all the voltages (sometimes referred to as potential ...

This design tip describes a simple equation to compose a desired resistance from two parallel connected resistors. The formula for parallel connection of two resistors may be found in any electronics ...

This resistor with bands of red, violet, yellow, and gold has a value of 270,000 ohms (270kΩ) with a tolerance of ±5%. \( \begin{eqnarray*}\text{R}_\text{t ...
