The total resistance of two resistores connected in series is larger than the resistance of any of the two smaller than the resistance of any of the two between the resistances of the two. the total resistance of two resistors connected in parallel is larger than the resistance of any of the two smaller than the resistance of any of the two. between the resistances of the two if two resistors are connected in series they have the same amount of current flowing through them. (6j they have the same voltage across them. if two resistors are connected in parallel, they have the same amount of current flowing through them they have the same voltage across them. if an resistor has these color bands: red-orange* yellow-gold, what is its resistance? (you may refer to your textbook on resistor color codes or google "resistor color band" for the commonly used resistor color-coding scheme.) 23 x 10^4 ohm plusminus 5% = 230 kilo-ohm plusminus 5% 2.3 x 10^4 ohm t 5% = 23 kilo-ohm plusminus 5% 2.3xl0^2ohm plusminus 5 %= 230ohm plusminus 5% 23 x 10^2 ohm plusminus 5% = 2.3 kilo-ohm +- 5%
