Parallel Resistance Equation

$$\text{Total Resistance} = R_T = \frac{1}{\sum^{n}_{i=1}\left(\frac{1}{R_i}\right)}$$

• The voltage across each resistor is the same
• The current on each branch is determined by the resistance of the branch and the voltage across the branch , calculated using Ohm's Law
• Resistors in Parallel = Ion (Leak) Channels
