Enter Resistor Set


  

You entered a parallel resistor set of

{1,3,5,8,12}

calculate the resistance in ohms, denoted Rt

The formula for this is as follows:

Rt  =  1
  1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn

Calculating our denominator piece, we get:

R1 = 1

1 ÷ R1 = 1

R2 = 3

1 ÷ R2 = 0.33333333333333

R3 = 5

1 ÷ R3 = 0.2

R4 = 8

1 ÷ R4 = 0.125

R5 = 12

1 ÷ R5 = 0.083333333333333

Our denominator becomes

Denominator = 1 + 0.33333333333333 + 0.2 + 0.125 + 0.083333333333333

Denominator = 1.7416666666667

Our total Resistance is denoted below:

Rt  =  1
  1.7416666666667

Rt = 0.57416267942584
