Enter Resistor Set

You entered a parallel resistor set of

{1,3,5}

calculate the resistance in ohms, denoted Rt

The formula for this is as follows:

Rt =	1
	1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn

Calculating our denominator piece, we get:

R1 = 1

1 ÷ R1 = 1

R2 = 3

1 ÷ R2 = 0.33333333333333

R3 = 5

1 ÷ R3 = 0.2

Our denominator becomes

Denominator = 1 + 0.33333333333333 + 0.2

Denominator = 1.5333333333333

Our total Resistance is denoted below:

Rt =	1
	1.5333333333333

Rt = 0.65217391304348

You have 1 free calculations remaining

What is the Answer?

Rt = 0.65217391304348
