The combine resistanc of two resistors R1 and R2 in a parellel circuit is given by the formula
Rt = 1/ 1/R1 + 1/R2
Simplify the formula
:
Rt = 1%2F%281%2FR1+%2B+1%2FR2%29 = 1%2F%28%28R2%2B+R1%29%2F%28R1%2AR2%29%29%29 = 1 * %28R1%2AR2%29%2F%28R2+%2B+R1%29; or just: %28R1%2AR2%29%2F%28R2+%2B+R1%29
:
The steps:
1. Put the denominator fraction over a single denominator
2. Invert the dividing fraction and multiply
