Question

The equivalent resistance in a parallel circuit is .....?.... the resistance in each branch

Answer 1

Equivalent resistance,
`(1)/(R_(eq))=(1)/(R_1)+(1)/(R_2)+....`

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel combination of resistors is given by :

`(1)/(R_(eq))=(1)/(R_1)+(1)/(R_2)+....`

In the parallel combination of resistors, the current through each resistor is the same while the potential divides. On the series combination of resistors, the potential divides while the current hrough the current is the same.
