Not what i was looking for but still learned something. I want to know what a resistor is. How it works and how to make one. How do we measure its tolerance and resistance? And what happens to the motion of the current and the magnetic field of the circuit when a resistor is added to the circuit in series/parallel.

Can someone explain the science on why the resistance decreases when placing the resistors in parallel as seen at 0:35? My brain just cant compute on that one. I get how the resistance increases when placing the resistors into series because the flow has to pass though each resistor on its way down the chain. But the inverse effect is rocket science to grasp to my mush.

[@EngineeringMindset]

We're just giving the electrons more routes. It's like if theres a road that's always suffering from heavy traffic, we'd build some more roads to divide the traffic up. The same total amout of cars will flow but its been shared across more routes, so it seems less on the individual routes

[@firstmkb]

The easiest way for me to remember this is to think of it in terms of conductance instead of resistance. Conductance is the inverse of resistance (1/R), and they just add together - which makes intuitive sense to me. So total conductance Ct = C1 + C2 + C3 etc, which is the same as the second formula listed 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 etc.

[@MaxPowerElectric]

This is a great idea, I bet a lot of students would understand parallel circuits more quickly if it was explained this way. By adding more paths for current to flow, the overall conductance is going up, so the resistance is going down, but engineers are very cynical people so they prefer to talk in negative terms like "resistance" as opposed to "conductance." Except for conventional vs. electron flow, for that they think positively

[@DL-kc8fc]

@@MaxPowerElectric There is no "conductivity", so "resistance" is legitimate. For example, zero resistance refers to superconductors, so how would you express the so-called "conductivity" that results from resistance, such as conductor resistance? It is good to imagine this in a parallel scheme as a division into "branches", which carry only a fraction of the total "current" and therefore the passage through the "branches" is easier. The resistance in the parallel solution decreased. This is also mathematically illustrative if you are working with the same resistors, for example, let's take an example from a 10 ohm and 10 ohm video in parallel. The value of one of them, ie 10 ohms and divide by the number of resistors in the circuit, which is two. 10/2 = 5 ohms. Or, 5 ohms and 5 ohms - 5/2 = 2.5 ohms. Or 10 ohms and 10 ohms and 10 ohms - 10/3 = 3.33 ohms. If the resistances are different, it is necessary to solve this difference by the formula of the sum of the inverse values of the resistors. But in practice, the prevailing experience is that you have the same resistors and want to make smaller ones. The simple mathematics of one resistance value divided by the number of resistances is quite used because it is intuitive and reflects the principle.

Here, BB for Black and Brown ROY for Red,Orange and Yellow Goes G for Green Bombay's B for Blue Via's V for Violet Great's G for Grey Wall's W for White And Silver and Gold

[@firstmkb]

My electronics teacher in the 70’s had a less PC version: Bad boys ravish our young girls, but Violet gives willingly. Tolerance bands weren’t as critical, but Nothing, Silver, Gold was easy enough to keep straight. You still have to: 1) Remember Black then Brown 2) Inform the proper authorities about those boys 3) Don’t judge or slut shame Violet

In all the hoopla surrounding solid state electronics in the last half of the last century, an important change went un-noticed: carbon composition resistors (those old things with perfectly cylindrical bodies) were displaced by metallic film resistors. Carbon resistors were primitive things - not very different from pieces of pencil lead. They were hard to make with much precision and were unstable. In low power applications the resistance gradually rose; in higher power applications the resistance fell. They also had an inherent negative temperature coefficient. Those were the bad old days of electronics.
