Resistor in series & parallel simulator
Experiment with resistors in series and parallel, and see how their configuration affects the overall resistance.
Resistor in series & parallel
Electricity flows through circuits in fascinating ways, but have you ever wondered how the arrangement of resistors affects the total resistance? Dive into the world of series and parallel circuits with our interactive simulator. Adjust resistor values, explore different configurations, and observe how resistance changes in real-time. Understand the core principles that shape electrical circuits — start your exploration today!
\( R_{series} = R_{1} + R_{2}
\)
\( \frac{1}{R_{parallel}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}}
\)
Mathematical description
where:
- \( R_{series} (R_{parallel}) \) is the effective resistance of the series(parallel) combination
- \( R_{1} (R_{2} \) is the resistance of resistor 1 (resistor 2)
