$\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{p}}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}$
$\frac{\mathrm{A}_{1}+\mathrm{A}_{2}}{\rho_{\mathrm{eq}} \ell}=\frac{\mathrm{A}_{1}}{\rho_{1} \ell}+\frac{\mathrm{A}_{2}}{\rho_{2} \ell}$
$\rho_{\mathrm{eq}}=\frac{\rho_{1} \rho_{2}\left(\mathrm{A}_{1}+\mathrm{A}_{2}\right)}{\rho_{2} \mathrm{A}_{1}+\rho_{1} \mathrm{A}_{2}}$
