PARALLEL CIRCUITS

PARALLEL CIRCUITS
When number of resistors are connected in such a way that one end of each of them is joined to a common point and other ends being joined to another common point , then the resistors are said to be connected in parallel and such circuits are known as parallel circuits.

When a number of resistors are connected in parallel, the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance is given by the arithmetic sum of the reciprocals of their individual resistances.
1/R= 1/R1+1/R2......1/Rn
