Electrical Engineering Fundamentals I | Lecture 12a Resistors in Parrallel | Purdue University

Learn about resistance and current flow in parallel circuits with two resistors. This video is part of Purdue University's Electrical Engineering Fundamentals I course, led by the Senior Vice President for Partnerships and Online, Dimitrious Peroulis. In this episode, he explores the concept of equivalent resistance and current division when just two resistors are connected in parallel. Dr. Peroulis introduces the mathematical formulae that allow for easy calculation of the equivalent resistance and how current is divided based on each resistor's conductance, illustrating a key principle in electrical engineering: the higher the resistance, the lower the conductance. Join Dr. Peroulis at Purdue University Online as he guides you through the world of electrical engineering.
