What this handout is about. This handout will explain what literature reviews are and offer insights into the form and construction of literature reviews in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.
Parallel resistance is illustrated by the circulatory system. Each organ is supplied by an artery that branches off the aorta. The total resistance of this parallel arrangement is expressed by the following equation: 1/R total = 1/R a + 1/R b + ... 1/R n. R a, R b, and R n are the resistances of the renal, hepatic, and other arteries respectively.
An example of a series connection is shown in the diagram: For such a connection, the current is the same for all individual resistors and the total voltage is the sum. of the voltages across the individual resistors. Using Ohm's law ( ), one can show that, for a series connection, the equivalent resistance is. the sum of the individual resistances.
