What is the formula for calculating equivalent resistance in a series circuit?
Req = R1 - R2 - R3 - ... - Rn
R_eq = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn)
Req = R1 * R2 * R3 * ... * Rn
Req = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... + Rn

Explain how to calculate equivalent resistance in a parallel circuit.
R_eq = 1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn)
R_eq = R1 + R2 + R3 + ... + Rn
R_eq = R1 * R2 * R3 * ... * Rn
R_eq = (R1 + R2 + R3 + ... + Rn) / n
