You are working on an electronic project and you need to get a 100 Ω, 10 W resistor to meet the specifications of your design. So you looked up in your tool box and found out that you only have a ...

This circuit contains a \({5}\Omega\) resistor in series with two resistors, \({6}\Omega\) and \({4}\Omega\), which are in parallel. Start by calculating the combined resistance of the two parallel ...

If there are no branches then it's a series circuit. If there are branches it's a parallel circuit. In a television series, you get several episodes, one after the other. A series circuit is similar.
