Equivalent-resistance method
For a series selection, the tool sums every entered resistance. For a parallel selection, it sums the reciprocals and takes the reciprocal of that total: 1/Rₑq = Σ(1/Rᵢ).
Example check: 100 Ω and 200 Ω in series produce 300 Ω. In parallel, 1/Rₑq = 1/100 + 1/200, so the equivalent is about 66.67 Ω.
