What is Resistance
Resistance is the property of a device to obstructs the flow of current in the circuit. It is measured in the unit Ohm represented by Ω. Resistance of a material is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its thickness or cross-sectional area.
Resistors in Series and Parallel Combinations
Resistors are devices that obstruct the flow of electric current in the circuit. They provide the hindrance to the path of the current which flows in the circuit. Resistors consume the current in any circuit and convert them to other forms of energy as required. Various resistors can be added to the circuits as per our requirements. Two or more resistors can easily be added in particular sequences. The addition of resistors can be achieved using any of the two methods i.e. Series Combination and Parallel Combination. In this article, we will learn about the arrangement of Resistors in Series and Parallel combinations and others in detail.
