[sdiy] really basic question

[Peter Grenader]

soldered in series = 200 ohm

soldered in parallel = 50 ohm

if your two values are not equal, running them in parallel will not allow
final value to be less than the smallest of the two

Caps works the other way round:  two in series equals the values subtracted
from one another, two in parallel adds these values together.

word of warning:  accumulative tolerances.  If your two resistors in series
are both running on the outside of their value tolerance, your summed value
will reflect that summed tolerance as well!

hope thjis helps
