Calculate series-parallel (i.e., combination) circuits.

Calculation should include identifying relationships and solving unknown values for voltage, current, resistance, and wattage for series-parallel circuits, using Ohm’s Law, according to instructor’s guidelines.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How is series-parallel resistance calculated?
  • What is the first step in calculating a series-parallel?
  • When might series-parallel circuits be used in electrical wiring?
