The joint resistance of the two branchesbetween A and B will be less than the resistance of either branch singly,because the current has increased… … BATTERY1 I I I I I I I Fig. 83.—Divided circuit with two conductors in parallel. 3 and the joint resistance is equal to the reciprocal* of — 2\j or 6% In most cases the resistance of the different branches will bealike. This simplifies the calculations considerably. Take, forinstance, two branches…
