Calculate
Formula and method
Series: Rtotal = ΣRi. Parallel: Rtotal = 1 / Σ(1/Ri). Values are converted to ohms before arithmetic. Zero and negative resistances are rejected.
Worked example
100 Ω + 220 Ω + 330 Ω in series gives 650 Ω. In parallel, 100 Ω and 200 Ω give approximately 66.6667 Ω.
Limits and safety
Ideal equivalent resistance only. Real components have tolerances, temperature behavior, and power limits. Check circuit and component requirements separately.
