How to compute series resistor values in Python using UliEngineering

You can easily compute the total resistance of series resistors using the UliEngineering Python library:

series_resistors.py

from UliEngineering.Electronics.Resistors import *
from UliEngineering.EngineerIO import *

# Compute total resistance of two series resistors
total = series_resistors("1k", "2k")
print(f"Total resistance: {format_value(total, 'Ω')}")

# Compute total resistance of three series resistors
total = series_resistors("1k", "2k", "3k")
print(f"Total resistance: {format_value(total, 'Ω')}")

from UliEngineering.Electronics.Resistors import *
from UliEngineering.EngineerIO import *

# Compute total resistance of two series resistors
total = series_resistors("1k", "2k")
print(f"Total resistance: {format_value(total, 'Ω')}")

# Compute total resistance of three series resistors
total = series_resistors("1k", "2k", "3k")
print(f"Total resistance: {format_value(total, 'Ω')}")

Example output

series_resistors_output.txt

Total resistance: 3.00 kΩ
Total resistance: 6.00 kΩ

Total resistance: 3.00 kΩ
Total resistance: 6.00 kΩ

The series_resistors() function accepts any number of resistor values as arguments and computes the total resistance using the simple series resistance formula:

$$R_{total} = R_1 + R_2 + \dots + R_n$$
