To understand how combining resistors affects total resistance
Ohmmeter
One after another in a single path
Rtotal=R1+R2+R3+...R_{total} = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 + ...Rtotal=R1+R2+R3+...
Always greater than any single resistor
They create multiple paths for current
1Rtotal=1R1+1R2+...\frac{1}{R_{total}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + ...Rtotal1=R11+R21+...
Less than the smallest resistor
Multiple paths reduce opposition to flow
Calculate parallel sections first
Measure individual resistor values
Through each resistor in turn
