Series and parallel circuits open notes quiz

How do you calculate total resistance in a parallel circuit?

• R1 + R2 + R3

• R1 - R2 - R3

• 1/R1 +1/R2 + 1/R3 = 1/RT

• R1 = R2 = R3

How to you calculate the total resistance in a series circuit?

• R1 + R2+ R3

• R1 - R2 - R3

• 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

• R1 = R2 = R3
