In the context of electronic components, if a number of resistances are connected and the reciprocal of the sum of individual resistances is equal to the sum of reciprocals of individual resistances, then the type of connection is called _______.

Type of Connection for Resistors:

• If a number of resistances are connected in such a way that the reciprocal of the sum of the individual resistances is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances, then the type of connection is called a parallel circuit.
• Mathematically, for resistors R₁, R₂, ..., R_n connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance (R_eq) is given by:
  1/R_eq = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + ... + 1/R_n
• This relationship shows that the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances, which is characteristic of a parallel circuit.
