In what type of circuit will the equivalent resistance be less than the resistors in the circuit?

In a parallel circuit, the equivalent resistance is always less than the resistance of the individual resistors. This occurs because the total current can split across multiple paths, reducing the overall resistance. As more resistors are added in parallel, the equivalent resistance continues to decrease. This behavior contrasts with series circuits, where the equivalent resistance is the sum of all resistors and is always greater than any individual resistor.
