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 ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

A handy nomograph quickly determines the equivalent resistance of two parallel resistors. Although you could use the standard formula and a calculator, the nomograph also lets you easily find ...

When resistors are connected in parallel, they have the same potential difference across them. In other words, any components in parallel have the same potential difference across them.

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 parallel circuit add up to the supply current.
