Resistors in Series and Parallel

This video describes how to combine resistors in series and parallel and calculate the equivalent resistance. This is useful when you need a resistor with a certain value but can't find that value available for purchase, or you want to use the resistors you already have laying around. If you don't know how to use a breadboard, check out the breardboard tutorial I made for Science Buddies: https://youtu.be/6WReFkfrUIk If you are a college student in a physics/electricity & magnetism or introductory electrical engineering course, check out the playlist of videos I've made for MAE 3780 - Mechatronics at Cornell University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn9lwFMfO2c&list=PLKL6KBeCnI3W2AeUwZcjSNbdMHtmvJbS1
