I had one student come to my office hours this week. She had questions from the homework that including finding total resistance in a circuit. She particularly was confused about distinguishing between resistors in series and parallel. I walked her through a couple examples from lecture and we reviewed how current flows through a circuit. I pointed out that resistors in series have the same current whereas resistors in parallel have the same voltage, and determining this does not depend on the actually geometry of the circuit. After going through a few examples she was able to work through the homework problems on her own.
