  • You should find that adding resistors in series increases the total resistace of the circuit (adding a resistor decreases the total current through the circuit)
  • The more resistors you add, the larger the resistance of the whole circuit
  • When you add resistors in parallel, the total current through the circuit increases - so the total resistance of the circuit has decreased
  • The more resistors you add, the smaller the overall resistance becomes
