Answer:
1. When Resistors are connected in Parallel, they gets same amount of Potential Difference.
2. We know that, in a Parallel Combination, the total current flowing in the circuit is equal to the sum of the currents flowing accross each resistor.
Therefore, I = I1 + I2 + I3 .........(Eq. 1)
3. The Potential Difference(V) remains constant accross all the resistors.
4. Connect the circuit as shown in the figure.
5. The current(I) gets divided into 3 parts I1,I2,I3 accross R1,R2,R3 respectively.
6. Let the equivalent resistance provided by all the three resistors be Req.
7. According to the ohm's law,
Req = V/I
I = V/Req
8. The currents I1,I2 and I3 accross R1,R2 and R3 are given by I1=V/R1, I2=V/R2, I3=V/R3.
From Eq. 1,
I = I1 + I2 + I3
V/Req = V/R1 + V/R2 + V/R3
V(1/Req) = V(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3)
1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
