Basic Computational
Six resistors are arranged in a series. Their resistances are ,
,
,
,
, and
. What is their total resistance?
Two resistors are placed in a circuit. What is the difference in equivalent resistance when the resistors in series versus when they are in parallel?
What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit with resistors of ,
, and

When resistors are connected in series
When resistors are connected in parallel, we can be certain that
An electric circuit is set up in series with five resistors. If the resistors remain the same, but the circuit is now set up with the resistors in parallel, how would this affect the total resistance?
Each branch of a parallel circuit carries an equal __________.
Each component of a series circuit carries an equal __________.
