If you want, add the pictures I will be putting under resistor, capacitor, and inductor. - Omegatron 17:26, Mar 15, 2004 (UTC)

First time contributer. Just thought I'd fix what I think was just a simple error in arithmetic. The formula for the total current in a parallel circuit was given as Itotal = V/(R1 + R2 + ... + Rn). It should be I = V * (1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... 1/Rn) since Itotal = I1 + I2 ... = V/R1 + V/R2 ... = V * (1/R1 + 1/R2 ...). If I'm wrong (I'm not a science major, so I might be), disregard this, revert the article, and chastise me. -- Anon
- Thanks to the newbie for that. I was the one who made the slip up back in july, and despite a whole host of edits since then no one else spotted it. So good work! theresa knott 10:15, 16 Mar 2004 (UTC)
