Chapter 35, quiz coming up Thursday
On Thursday, prepare for a quiz on Chapter 35 in Hewitt, specifically:
What are the rules for combining multiple voltage, current and resistance in series and parallel circuits?
The rule for voltage in series is, for example: In series circuits all of the voltages add up to what is supplied by the battery.
There are five other rules you need to know. Be ready!
