Three resistors $R_{1}$,$R_{2}$,and $R_{3}$ are connected in parallel between points $A$ and $B$. The equivalent resistance $R$ is given by:

  • A
    $R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}} + \frac{1}{R_{3}}$
  • C
    $\frac{R_{1}R_{2}R_{3}}{R_{1}R_{2} + R_{2}R_{3} + R_{3}R_{1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}}{3}$
