(11C) Generate Pair of Parallel Resistors

[Gamo]

Program to generate in endless loop of
Two Parallel Resistors with your desire total.

This program give different pair of resistors that match the giving total.

Procedure:

[A] // Total [ENTER] Step [A]

[B] // Press any key to Stop Loop [B] 1st Resistor [R/S] 2nd Resistor [R/S] continue forward loop.

[C] // [C] Backward loop, Press any key to Stop Loop [B] 1st Resistor [R/S] 2nd Resistor.

[E] Initialize

---------------------------------------------------

Example: FIX 3

Destination total is 25.75
Pick two difference pair of resistors of your choice.

I will use 0.5 for loop steps.

[E] Initialize

25.75 ENTER .5

[A] ---->Program keep generate two resistors that match your giving total in this case is 25.75

Once you see the pair you like press any key to stop I recommend ENTER key.

[B] I pick this pair: 30.25 [R/S] 173.097 [R/S] --> Continue Loop Forward

[C] This loop go backward: Once you see the pair you like press any key to stop.
I pick this pair: --> [B] 28.250 [R/S] 290.975

Program use for total up even numbers of the "Same Resistors Value" in Parallel.

Procedure:

Resistor Value [ENTER] even number of resistors [A]

Example:

What is the total of 3 pair of 15 ohm Restistors in Parallel?

15 ENTER 6 [A]

Answer: 2.5 ohm

15 ENTER 6 [A]

Answer: 2.5 ohm

You can improve that program a bit:

Code:

LBL A
÷
RTN

Or then just use the dedicated key: [÷]

Kind regards

BTW: Your program doesn't work properly unless the register 6 is initialised to 0.
It doesn't help that you are doing it at the end of the program.

Gamo, after looking at this program for a few days I still do not understand where it may be usedful. Could you describe a practical application?

OK. You now know that 25,75 Ω equals 30,25 Ω and 173,097 Ω in parallel.
But where do you get such resistors from?!

What about a different program: store the resistors that you have in R1, R2, R3, ... and let the program calculate the combinations that come close to a certain target resistance.
