Series Parallel Circuit. Convert all series branches of two or more resistors into a single equivalent resistance. In electrical and electronics engineering it is very important to know the differences between series and parallel circuits.
Draw a circuit diagram identifying all components by number and showing all currents and resistor voltage drops. Provide reasoning to explain the measurements and relationships in circuits. If there are branches.
Branch currents add to equal total current.
Transform a combination circuit into a strictly series circuit by replacing in your mind the parallel section with a single resistor having a resistance value equal to the equivalent resistance of the parallel section. Determine if common objects are conductors or insulators. If there are no branches then it s a series circuit. Resistances add to equal total resistance.
