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.
Plug the resistance and current values into the Ohm's Law equation to calculate the voltage across the resistor. The calculation for the example would look like this: Voltage = 0.5 A x 4 Ohms = 2 V. There are 2 volts of voltage across the resistor in this example.
