Electronics Worksheet: Series and Parallel Resistors

Electronics lesson 14: Resistors in series and parallel · Set 322 · 40 questions

Remember (Add in a row, share side by side): Series: R total = R1 + R2 + R3 … Parallel, equal resistors: R total = R ÷ number of resistors (two equal → half). Then I = V ÷ R total. Example: 6 V across 4 Ω + 8 Ω = 12 Ω → 0.5 A.
