We study the dependence of perpendicular-current magnetoresistance in magnetic multilayers on the angle between the magnetizations of the layers. This dependence varies with the thickness of one of the layers, and is different for multilayers with two and three magnetic layers. We derive a system of equations representing an extension of the two-current series resistor model, and show that the angular dependence of magnetoresistance gives information about the noncollinear spin-transport in ferromagnets.
