Maximum resistance is in series connection or in parallel connection? Share with your friends Share 0 Debalina Deb answered this Dear student, let us have two resistances R1 and R2hence, series equivalent resistance =Rs= R1+R2 ..............(1)and,parallel equivalent resistance can be expressed as1Rp=1R1+1R2where, Rp=R1R2R1+R2 ...............(2)from the equations we can conclude RP <Rshence series combination has maximum equivalent resistance whereas parallel combination has minimum equivalent resistance.
