Previous tutorials have described that resistors may either be connected as a series circuit or a parallel circuit where the currents and voltages are obtained using Ohm’s Law. To produce more complex ...

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 ...

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 ...

What do series and parallel circuits have to do with Christmas lights? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini walks us through the differences between series and parallel circuits and how that ...

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 ...

The surface-mount OARS-XP series open-air, current-sense resistors now offer versions with a higher power rating than conventional metal-element resistors. They feature a wider metal alloy resistive ...
