There are two basic types of electrical circuits: series and parallel. An electrical cir
cuit with only one path for the current, I, to flow is called a series circuit (Figure 1.3a). An
electrical circuit with more than one path for the current to flow is called a parallel circuit
(Figure 1.3b). A circuit breaker or fuse in a house is wired in series with its outlets. The
outlets themselves are wired in parallel.

the total resistance in the series circuit in Figure 1.4. Resistance is measured in ohms, V.
Example 4 Studs are upright wooden or metal pieces in the walls of a building, to which siding, insu
lation panels, drywall, or decorative paneling is attached. (A wall portion with seven studs
is shown in Figure 1.5.) Studs are normally placed 16 in. on center and are placed double
at all internal and external corners of a building. The number of studs needed in a wall can
be estimated by finding the number of linear feet (ft) of the wall. How many studs are needed
for the exterior walls of the building in Figure 1.6?

age (No. 614, ♂ , Camp Lowell, June 28), the rusty color, although paler, is
uniformly distributed over the entire upper surface save upon the wings and tail
feathers, which are only edged and tipped with that color. This last example is so
faintly marked beneath that the plumage at first sight appears immaculate; but a
closer inspection reveals a few spots here and there among the central feathers of
the breast. A fourth (No. 487, Camp Lowell, June 3), although apparently no older,
has the breast and sides spotted more sharply than in any of the adults, while the
rusty tinge above is chiefly confined to the rump, posterior half of the back, and the
outer webs of the wing feathers.
Several of these young birds are so nearly similar to specimens of H. bendirei in
corresponding stages that they can be separated only with great difficulty. The
stouter bill and entirely black lower mandible of palmeri may, however, always be
depended upon as distinguishing characters; and, moreover, the pectoral spotting
of bendirei is usually (but not invariably) finer and sharper, and the rusty tinge
above paler and less extended.
The adults present a good deal of variation, most of which is apparently
seasonal. Winter specimens have the lower abdomen, with the anal region and
crissum, rich rusty-fulvous, while the markings beneath are similar in character to
those of true curvirostris, and the spots equally distinct, numerous and widely
distributed. With the advance of the season, and the consequent wear and tear of
the plumage, the spots gradually fade or disappear. Indeed some of the June
specimens are absolutely immaculate beneath, although most of them, like Mr.
Ridgway’s types, have a few faint markings on the abdomen. In this condition the
general coloring is also paler and grayer, and the fulvous of the crissum and
neighboring parts often entirely wanting.
But although the evidence of this series tends to demolish several of the
characters upon which palmeri has been based, enough remain to separate it from
its ally the true curvirostris of Mexico and the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. The
best of these, perhaps, is to be found in the different marking of the tail feathers. In
curvirostris the three outer pairs are broadly tipped with pure white which, on the
inner web, extends twice as deep, basally, as on the outer one, and has its
boundaries everywhere sharply defined; in palmeri the outer rectrices are, at the
most, barely tipped with pale brown, which either extends squarely across both
webs, or fades insensibly into the darker color of the feather. The bill of palmeri,
also, is usually longer and more curved than that of curvirostris.

Juv., first plumage, ♀ (No. 619, Yuma, July 15). Crown pale cinereous; rest of
upper parts faded brown. The wings are uniform with the back, but all the
primaries and secondaries have a broad white edging on their outer webs. The tail
is dull black, with white areas on the outer rectrices corresponding in extent and
purity with those of the adult. Beneath, pale ashy-white.
A study of the large series of Gnatcatchers collected during the past season
confirms the views which I lately advanced (this Bulletin, Vol. VI, p. 101) regarding
the affinity of P. plumbea and P. “melanura,” and also affords additional evidence
of the assumed specific distinctness of P. californica. The Yuma examples of P.
plumbea are quite as typical as those taken at Tucson and Camp Lowell, while
seven specimens of californica, collected at Riverside after Mr. Stephens’ return to
that place, still further attest the constancy of most of the characters which I
assigned to the latter bird. That relating to the brown edging of the secondaries
will, however, have to be abandoned, for plumbea proves to be similarly
characterized when in worn breeding dress; the supposed shorter tail of californica
also is now shown to be an inconstant feature. All of the three young males taken at
Riverside have black lateral crown-stripes like those of immature plumbea.

271, ♀ ad., Tucson, April 23. Length, 6.50; extent, 10.60. “Bill brown, paler at

Juv., first plumage (♀ No. 471, Camp Lowell, June 1).—Wing-coverts and inner
secondaries broadly tipped and edged with pale brownish-fulvous. Primaries and
rectrices edged and tipped with hoary white. Rump and upper tail-coverts
yellowish-chestnut. No chestnut on the crown. Otherwise colored like the adult.
Among a number of adults before me the range of individual variation is very
limited, and is chiefly confined to the females. While it is true that some of the
latter are indistinguishable from the brightest males, the majority have the rump
and crown-patches considerably duller, the chestnut being either diluted in shade,
or mixed with the color of the back. In No. 206 the crown-patch is concealed, the
chestnut being restricted to the basal portion of the feathers.
