๐Ÿงฉ Resistor Series/Parallel Calculator

Total resistance50 ฮฉ

Enter the values of multiple resistors to calculate the total (equivalent) resistance when connected in series or in parallel. Add or remove resistors freely.

How to use

  1. Choose series or parallel.
  2. Enter each resistorโ€™s value (ฮฉ). Use "Add resistor" to add more.
  3. The total resistance is calculated automatically.

FAQ

What formulas are used for series and parallel?

Series is the simple sum of resistances (R = R1 + R2 + ...). Parallel is the reciprocal of the sum of reciprocals (1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ...).

What happens to total resistance in a parallel circuit?

The total resistance of a parallel combination is always smaller than the smallest individual resistor value.

How many resistors can I add?

You can add as many resistors as you like using the "Add resistor" button โ€” thereโ€™s no upper limit.
