Applications Continued:
Parallel only with multiple resistors:
Resistors in Parallel:
If we examine this problem carefully we can see that the same total current will flow from the battery if the set of resistors in parallel is replaced by a single 1.6 kΩ resistor. This leads to a simple expression for the equivalent resistance of any group of resistors in parallel shown in this slide from NASA. In the longer term you will learn a closed form expression for two resistors in parallel.

Resistors in Parallel:
Derive the algebraic result for the equivalent resistance of any two resistors in parallel. Note that it says the equivalent resistance is always less than the smallest of the two resistors.
