Short/Brief Note
Advertisements
Solution
Characteristics of resistances in Parallel:
- The sum total of resistances in parallel decreases with the increase in the number of resistors.
- The current flowing in any resistor in parallel will be inversely proportional to resistance i.e., more the resistance, less the current.
- Each resistor in parallel functions independently with respect to the other resistors in parallel.
