Electrical & PowerEngineering Fundamentals

Combine two or more resistances in parallel.

App id: ELEC-04. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Add rows as you need them. The tool uses every row you enter.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

1/Rtotal = Σ(1/Ri)

Inputs

NameUnit
Resistanceohm

Outputs

NameUnit
Total resistance (hero result)ohm

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • Resistances are non-negative. A zero-ohm branch shorts the combination.

Provenance

  • General electrical engineering relationship.
