Electricity and Magnetism: Resistor Calculations

This document contains information about a physics assignment given to a student named Mary Joy S. Pelaez. It includes 3 practice problems on electric circuits involving series and parallel connections of resistors. The first problem involves calculating the resistance of a copper wire. The second involves finding the equivalent resistance, current, and potential differences in a parallel circuit. The third continues working on calculations for the parallel circuit.
