CassetteMaster | 27: Parallel Resistors @CassetteMaster | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 11 hours ago
Project 27 from the 200-in-One Electronic Project Lab Kit, constructed on Breadboard, as my kit was parted out years ago, and I much prefer breadboards, always have.
When the resistors are connected together in parallel, the total resistance is smaller than the smallest resistor, as illustrated.
The reading is out of the manual for the famous 200-in-One kit that many people grew up making projects on as kids. I used two meters. The small meter movement is from the kit itself, and the bigger meter movement came out of a satellite receiver I took apart back in late 1998 or 1999. The bigger movement has the added bonus of a light. I ran the light off a separate (the negative supply on my Powered Project Board I made in 2004) supply, for the close-up of the big meter.
