SERIES/PARALLEL CIRCUITS – Work Sheet Two
Resolve the following problems and draw the schematic diagram for each problem.
Show your work.

1. Calculate the total resistance for a 650 ohm, a 350 ohm, and a 1000 ohm resistor connected in series.

2. Calculate the total resistance for ten 120 ohm resistors in series.

3. A string of fifty 15 ohm Christmas tree lights are connected in series. One burns out, they all burn out. Calculate the total resistance.

4. Calculate the total resistance for two 180 ohm resistors connected in parallel.

5. A 10 ohm, 20 ohm, and 100 ohm resistors are connected in parallel. Calculate the total resistance.

6. A string of fifty 15 ohm Christmas tree light are connected in parallel. One burns out, the rest will stay lit. Calculate the total resistance.

7. Two 100 ohm resistors are connected in series and they are connected to a 1.5 VDC battery. What is the total current flowing in the circuit?

8. Those fifty 15 ohm, series connected Christmas tree lights, calculate the total current in the circuit if they are connected to a 115 VAC source.
