Here are some study tips to focus your review. Remember, these questions will not appear on the unit test. Be prepared to interpret or draw pictures demonstrating what you know. Be prepared to provide original examples of how a series and parallel circuit work, including the advantages and disadvantages of each. Be prepared to discuss the similarities between magnetic forces and electric forces. Be prepared to example the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance through original examples. This is the BEST WAY to ensure you are thoroughly prepared for the upcoming test.
