Parallel resistors (part 1) | Circuit analysis | Electrical engineering | Khan Academy

Resistors are in parallel if their terminals are connected to the same two nodes. The equivalent single parallel resistance is smaller than the smallest parallel resistor. Created by Willy McAllister.

Electrical engineering on Khan Academy: A summary of the math and science preparation that will help you have the best experience with electrical engineering taught on Khan Academy. Become familiar with engineering numbers and notation, and learn about the two most important electrical quantities: current and voltage.

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

what's really wild is that I already knew about 80% of this stuff so far in the playlist, but that extra 20% really makes the concepts easier to manage

Bro thank you so much .. literally i knew nothing about electricity and i am a student in 2nd year in mechatronics .. you saved mi life, if i pass this exam i am going to kiss your forehead as a move of high respect man .. thank you so much

Perfect. Now I see paralel resistors as one resistor with this explanation. it all makes sense now! thanks so much for simple short explanation.

[FTWTitanium]

Thank you for the quality explanation! :)

I feel that Ohms law and the part of derivation are wild.

[varundunna]

Y is it necessary that if the resistors share the same node..then they must have the same voltage

Why is it 1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3 instead of r1 + r2 + r3?

Doubt:
How the current will same when the electron goes into one resistors then it will lose some energy then again in 2nd resistors it will lose some more energy finally in 3rd they will lose some more then the value of current get decreased know?? How it will remain same
