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.
In a series circuit, the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional with its resistance (Et= I(Rint+R). That means in a series circuit the voltage across the resistor will increase when the resistance in increased, while the current will reduce. A power source has internal resistance (Rint) which will be in series with the resistor R. So even though your resistor is connected across the power supply, the internal resistance Rint is in series with it.
