Question
Let n represent the number of similar resistors in a circuit. Each resistor has a resistance of r. When the resistors are connected in parallel the circuit has a total resistance of R. What would the total resistance of the circuit be if the resistors were instead connected in series?

parallel= resistance= R=rEach/n
series= n*reach=n*n*R= n^2 R
series= n*reach=n*n*R= n^2 R

1/R = n/r
so
R = r/n
in series R = n r
so
R = r/n
in series R = n r
