HI; First off let me say this is one of the best sites I have ever seen - I am just amazed at how everyone helps each other out. I am 52 and dont know anything about electronics but have always wanted to learn. I found some great lectures on you tube and that coupled with your site is giving me a great introduction
Heres a simple question that just isnt clicking with me. Conductance in a parallel series just adds up . OK so picture three resistors in parrallel . Give them values of 4, 2 and 3 ohms.
since G = 1/R then G (total) = 1/4 + 1/2 + 1/3 = 1.08
R (Total ) = 4*2*3/ 4 + 2 +3 = 24/9 = 2.66
then since G = 1/R --> 1/2.66 = 0.375 which is not 1.08
what am I doing wrong?
