    1. Three resistors with resistances R1, R2, and R3 are connected in parallel across points A and B. 2. The voltage across each resistor is the same constant voltage V applied by the battery. 3. Using Ohm's law, the total current I through the circuit equals V divided by the equivalent resistance R, where 1/R equals 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3.

    1. Let the three resistors of resistances R1, Ω , R2, Ω  be connected in parallel
    2. Since all three resistors are between the same two points A&B, the voltage is
    constant
    3. Let V volts of p.d. be applied by the battery. Then all three resistors have
    voltage as V volts
    4. The current flowing through the cicuit be I amp. and the current distributed
    through the resistors be I, A, ; I2A ; I3A ; I3A respectively
    5. Acording to Ohm's Law,
    V = IR in the circuit
    .'. I = V/R
    Similarly I = V/R
    I2 = V/R2
    I3 = V/R3
    6. I = I+I2+I3
    V/R = V/R1 + V/R2 + V/R3
    V/R = V[ 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3]

    The reciprocal of the resultant is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of


    individual resistances of resistors in parallel
