Homework Statement
I need to devise an experiment to show that the total resistance decreases as additional resistors are added to a parallel circuit of resistors. All resistances of the resistors are the same.
Homework Equations
R(Total)=1/R(1)+1/R(2)+...+1/R(n)
The Attempt at a Solution
So far I can work it out mathematically say the resistance of the resistors is 20 Ω
For two resistors:
R(Total)=10 Ω
For three:
R(Total)≈6.7
So I can confirm that the total resistance of the circuit is increasing but I'm having problems devising the experiment.
Thanks in advance! :D
