Here is the problem: Resistors of 10, 10 Ω are connected in parallel across 5 V. Find the equivalent resistance and total current.

2
00:00:09.703 --> 00:00:15.949
Resistors in parallel share the same voltage; their conductances (1/R) add.

3
00:00:16.749 --> 00:00:18.955
Parallel: reciprocals add.

4
00:00:19.405 --> 00:00:21.437
Total current from Ohm prime s law.

5
00:00:21.887 --> 00:00:26.740
Current in each branch (same voltage). The branch currents add up to the total current.

6
00:00:27.190 --> 00:00:28.281
Power delivered.

7
00:00:29.081 --> 00:00:36.128
So the answer is R T equals 5 Ω; I equals 1 A, P equals 5 W.

8
00:00:36.578 --> 00:00:44.856
The equivalent resistance of a parallel network is always smaller than its smallest resistor; two equal resistors in parallel give half of one.

9
00:00:45.656 --> 00:00:50.381
R T less than or equal to every individual resistor, which checks out.
