2 parallel resistors calculator

Online calculator for formulas used in electronic circuit design and electrical engineering.

Basic electric calculations:

Ohm's Law, Ohm's Law with power, DC power, AC real power, LC resonant frequency, Capacitor charging/discharging, Capacitive reactance, Capacitive current + reactive power, Capacitor energy, Capacitor Δ energy, RC discharging, Inductor square pulse, Inductive reactance, Inductive current + reactive power, Inductor energy, 2 parallel resistors, 3 parallel resistors, System bandwidth, Bandwidth ↔ rise time

Wire and winding calculations:

Diameter ↔ cross section ↔ AWG, Wire resistance, Wire weight, Current density, Wire R thermal drift

Calculate 2 parallel resistors: 15kΩ, 30kΩ, kΩ


This calculates the total resistance of 2 parallel resistors. It can also calculate the resistance of the last individual resistor to reach a target total resistance.

Enter any 2 values, the 3rd one will be calculated:

R1: -0.1 +0.1 -1 +1 -10 +10 -100 +100
R2: -0.1 +0.1 -1 +1 -10 +10 -100 +100
Total R: -0.1 +0.1 -1 +1 -10 +10 -100 +100

Parallel resistors rule says:

•Connecting a 15kΩ (fifteen kiloohms) resistor and a 30kΩ (thirty kiloohms) resistor in parallel creates a 10kΩ (ten kiloohms) resistance.
•A 15kΩ (fifteen kiloohms) resistor resistance can be reduced to 10kΩ (ten kiloohms) by connecting a 30kΩ (thirty kiloohms) resistor in parallel.
