Series Parallel Resistor Circuit. Series and parallel resistor circuits. The electronic components are connected in many different ways.
The electronic components are connected in many different ways. Therefore the current is the same in each resistor. If the components are connected in series in the circuit then the circuit is said to be a series circuit.
Combination resistive circuits otherwise known as series parallel resistive circuits combine resistors in series with resistors in parallel as shown in the figure 12.
In a parallel circuit all of the resistor leads on one side of the resistors are connected together and all the leads on the other side are connected together. Re draw the circuit replacing each of those series or parallel resistor combinations identified in step 1 with a single equivalent value. The rules governing these circuits are the same as those developed for series circuits and for parallel circuits. The goal of series parallel resistor circuit analysis is to be able to determine all voltage drops currents and power dissipations in a circuit.
