Formulas for resistance parallel circuit
In order to calculate the total resistance of several resistors connected in parallel, their conductance values are added. The conductance is the reciprocal of the resistance. The formula for three resistors connected in parallel is
\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_{ges}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}\)
When calculating two parallel resistances, the total resistance can be calculated using the following formula.
\(\displaystyle R_{ges}=\frac{R_1· R_2}{R_1 + R_2}\)
The parallel resistance R2 is calculated using the following formula.
\(\displaystyle R_2=\frac{R_1· R_{ges}}{R_1 - R_{ges}}\)
