| • | Parallel: Two
or more elements are in parallel if |
||||||||
| they are
connected to the same two nodes and |
|||||||||
| consequently
have the same voltage across them. |
|||||||||
| • | The equivalent
resistance of a circuit with |
||||||||
| N resistors in
parallel is: |
|||||||||
| • | The total
current i is shared by the resistors in |
||||||||
| inverse
proportion to their resistances. The |
|||||||||
| current divider
can be expressed as: |
