330Ω and 470Ω in parallel = 193.88Ω
Worked answer for a 330Ω and a 470Ω resistor wired in parallel.
Equivalent resistance 193.88Ω 330Ω and 470Ω in parallel
| Resistor 1 (R1) | 330Ω |
| Resistor 2 (R2) | 470Ω |
| Connection mode | parallel |
| Formula | R = 1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2) |
| Equivalent resistance | 193.88Ω |
Resistors in parallel always give an equivalent resistance smaller than the smallest resistor in the group.
