Juan and Sam are working on a physics lab together. In their lab, they are to create both a series circuit
and a parallel circuit using identical materials. Juan constructs the series circuit while Sam makes the
parallel circuit. After observing the two circuits, Sam argues that his circuit contains more resistance
than Juan's circuit. Juan says that Sam is wrong, and that his circuit has more resistance. Who is
correct?
• Juan is correct, parallel circuits have LESS resistance because their resistors add inversely, while
the resistors in series circuits add normally.
