Question
If you have a circuit that contains resistors in parallel, what would be the advantage of finding their equivalent resistance when performing circuit analysis?

- So that you can easily find the current through the resistors using a single Ohm's Law calculation.

- So that you can alter the circuit and reduce the number of resistors used.

- So that you don't have to write a bunch of KCL & KVL equations to find their individual resistances.

- So that you can apply a current divider expression to find the voltage across each resistor.
