    The document is a chapter from a Form 3 science textbook about electricity and magnetism. It contains 6 sections with multiple questions about electrical circuits, the relationship between current and voltage in circuits, and magnetic fields. Section 1 asks students to label circuit diagrams as parallel or series and calculate resistance. Section 2 asks students to classify different circuit diagrams based on their properties. Section 3 describes an experiment comparing current from 1 vs 2 dry cells and asks students to record observations and draw inferences. Section 4 describes a similar experiment relating wire thickness to current. Section 5 demonstrates magnetic fields around a current-carrying wire. Section 6 demonstrates magnetic fields around a bar magnet.
