Derive the formula for equivalent resistance of the resistor arranged in parallel combination |
|
Answer» LET I1,I2,I3 be the current flowing through R1,R2,R3 respectively therefore, I=I1+I2+I3_____________(i) let the effective resistance of this parallel combination be Rp, then using, OHM's law I=V/Rp_______________________(II) As V is same for all resistor, therefore I1=V/R1 ,I2=V/R2 ,I3=V/R3_________(iii) hence, from eqn (i), (ii),(ii), we get V/Rp=V/P1+V/R2+V/R3+V[ 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3] |____________________ | | 1/R1 + 1/R2+ 1/R3 | |____________________| |
