Are those 5 resistors connected in series or parallel?
Apr 26, 1:03pm

The resistors R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, and R₅ in your diagram are connected in series.

In a series circuit, all components are connected end-to-end, so the same current flows through each resistor, and the total resistance is the sum of all individual resistances.

In this updated diagram, the 5 resistors (R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅) are not all connected purely in series or purely in parallel. Here’s how they are connected:

  • R₁ is in series with the parallel combination of R₂, R₃, R₄, and R₅.
  • R₂, R₃, R₄, and R₅ are connected in parallel with each other.

So, the circuit is a combination of series and parallel connections. This is often referred to as a series-parallel circuit.
