Worksheet 3

This document contains a worksheet with three tests about series and parallel circuits: 1. Test I asks to identify circuits as series or parallel based on descriptions. 2. Test II contains multiple choice questions about characteristics of series and parallel circuits such as common voltage, current, or resistance. 3. Test III provides circuit diagrams and asks to calculate voltage, current, and resistance at different points, and to find total resistance and current in more complex series-parallel circuits. The worksheet aims to assess understanding of basic series and parallel circuit concepts.
