How to Calculate Resistance in Series or Parallel – ATM Quick Take | DigiKey

In this video, series and parallel circuit resistance calculations are explained and demonstrated as well as how to combine the values to determine total circuit resistance. Series resistance uses basic addition to determine total branch resistance where resistance across parallel branches is more complex. That is why DigiKey provides calculators on its website to make resistance calculation easy.
