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: How to Use a Breadboard

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: What is "Ground" in a Circuit?
