The video tutorial explains how to calculate the equivalent resistance of a circuit with resistors in parallel and series. It covers the calculation of total current using Ohm's Law and discusses the distribution of current through different resistors. The tutorial also demonstrates how to calculate the voltage across resistors and the power absorbed by each resistor, ensuring the power delivered by the battery matches the total power absorbed, in line with the conservation of energy.
