Question 665748: The total resistance R of two resistors in parallel is given R=(1)/(1/R1+1/R2) where R1 is the resistance of the first and R2 the resistance of the second. Solve the equation for R1 and simplify. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The total resistance R of two resistors in parallel is given R=(1)/(1/R1+1/R2) where R1 is the resistance of the first and R2 the resistance of the second. Solve the equation for R1 and simplify.
-------------
1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2
1/R1 = 1/R - 1/R2 = (R2 - R)/R*R2
R1 = R*R2/(R2 - R)
