a.
THREE
Draw connecting lines between the following
b.
THREE
components to form two series circuits
c.
PARALLEL
connected in parallel.
No new formulas are needed to find the values
of series-parallel circuits. Instead, a
simplified circuit is made of the original
series-parallel circuit, and the necessary
circuit laws are used for the simplified
circuit.
The circuit in figure A below is electrically
the same as the circuit in figure B.
In figure A, the circuit has two paths for
current; each path (branch) has a total of 10
the total resistance of the second branch.
Figure B is the simplified circuit of the
circuit in figure A. To solve for Rt in figure
B, use _______________ - circuit laws.
(series/parallel)
Rt = ____________ ohms
