Part 2: Resistance in series and parallel circuits

• How are two resistors connected in series represented?

  Draw them one after the other
• How are two resistors connected in parallel represented?

  Draw them side by side

  
• Which combination of resistors has the least resistance if both are identical?

  Resistors in parallel
• What is the total resistance of two identical resistors in parallel compared to their individual resistances?

  It is lower than the smallest resistance
• How does the total resistance of resistors in parallel compare to that of resistors in series?

  Parallel has lower total resistance than series
