Prob a silly and easy answer...I just can't seem to wrap my tiny brain around this.
Why do strips not follow regular electronic 'laws'?
Example:
In the picture I have used resistors as strips...1 resistor=1 strip...since we stated in another thread/post that they are basically resistors...anyways.
If we do the math for parallel it would basically be R = 1 / (1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 ... 1/R10) and each resistor = 10 ohms (value is just for easy calculating...not actual)
We should get 1 ohm total across the + & -.
In series they add together so it would + 100 ohms.
So why does the resistance go up in the middle in parallel and down in series...or as I've been told it does?
