26ltofr1 2 Combination of Resistors ~ Series combination Calculating values for two or more resistors in series is simple, add all the values up. + The connection ensures that the SAME current flows through all resistors. ‘= The potential difference across each resistor may be different. © In this type of connection Recta will always be GREATER than any of the included resistors. Even if we have more than two resistors the total resistance is the sum of all the resistors connected in series: R Total = R1 + R2+ Ra : V, i Ve Parallel Combination There are two or more paths available for Current. sHence current divides. *But voltage across the resistors are the same. * If the two resistors are equal the current will divide equally and the Rrora. will be exactly half of either resistor or exactly one third if there are three equal resistors. singenera, + I I v Problem-1 Calculate (a) Equivalent resistance of the circuit {b) Total current in the circuit (c) Potential difference across each resistor (d) current in each resistor. 9) uw Ww () Wwe im “Af: i gvMH (©) e an =ialler . 4 bow () wm BN + el Ww Ww Aw e) bu Van & Be G) bv A= av ou @) = ile 2 We que Q) QW) Be we Wwe Ww MAL ae 405 4 av |~ "Se : te gv Uae Awe
