21.1: Resistors in Series and Parallel

Determine whether resistors are in series, parallel, or a combination of both series and parallel. Examine the circuit diagram to make this assessment. Resistors are in series if the same current must pass sequentially through them. Use the appropriate list of major features for series or parallel connections to solve for the unknowns.
