Figure 3.1 A resistor network in which the total resistance can only be calculated<br />

by breaking it down into blocks<br />

Network A<br />

Network A consists of two resistors in parallel. The equivalent<br />

resistance, R A<br />

, may therefore be calculated from the above<br />

expression for parallel resistors. However, we saw in the last<br />

chapter that the resistance of only two parallel resistors is<br />

given by the much simpler expression:<br />

which gives:<br />
