Title: Describe series and parallel circuits.
Course: Building Trades II (17009-II) > Section: Electricity: Applying Basic Electrical Wiring

Description should include

- diagramming simple series and parallel circuits
- identifying the expected values for voltage, current, resistance, and wattage.

IRC: Chapter 34 (https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IRC2018P4) is the National Electrical Code (NEC) related to residential construction. Throughout Chapters 34 to 43, all aspects of voltage, Ohm’s law, and Watt’s law are discussed as they relate to all aspects of residential electrical installation.

Process/Skill Questions:

- When using Ohm's law equation, does E, R, or I stay the same?
- What is Kirchoff's law?
- What function does series circuitry typically perform in a residential setting?
