Thanks! A formula is definitely something handy to have on hand :biggrin:

Thank you, that is definitely handy to keep in mind :smile:

Okay, cool! Good to know and thanks :smile:

I just meant like the chemical element, so you answered my question. Thanks! :smile:

Hi, Does an Atom's Type have to do with the number of protons and neutrons it has? Or are they completely unrelated? Just curious. Thanks :)

Thanks! :smile:

Hello, I would think that it would, because if the wire is longer there is more of a chance of their being foreign objects interfering, which could cause resistance, right? Or no?

Does that mean you would add all of the resistors + the equivalent of all of the resistors? So then it would be 36?

What does 1/Rn stand for/mean though? Because all of the values I have are the resistors and the voltage...

Thank you for trying to assist me with this, and sorry if I don't seem to be understanding this. Could you tell me what formula is supposed to be used here then if it wasn't the one I used above?

Oops I think I used the wrong formula. Here is the formula for multiple resistors: Which would make 18, correct? So then 12/18 is 0.666666667.

I think I have figured it out, using the formula for total resistance. = 3x6x9/3+6+9 = 162/8 = 9 Then I used the formula for total current: 12/9= 1.33333333333333

I understand that by parallel it means there are multiple resistors that are side by side next to each other. What I am not understanding is how to apply this information to use it in a formula..

No. That is what I was trying to get a grasp of.

As I said, I did not think I was doing it correctly. It was simply me attempting to go about the problem, not really having any idea how. I guess what I am really asking is how I would use this information in a formula.
