CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
A 5 V DC supply is connected to four parallel 100 Ω resistors as a dummy load for testing DC power supply performance.
Key decisions
- Place all four resistors directly across the positive supply rail and ground.
- Use identical 100 Ω resistors in all four branches for balanced current sharing.
When to reuse this
Use when testing DC power supplies, battery discharge, or verifying behavior with a balanced resistive load.
