    The document summarizes series-parallel and parallel-series circuits. In a series-parallel circuit, the final simplified circuit is a series circuit. The total resistance is calculated using the series resistance formula. In a parallel-series circuit, the final simplified circuit is a parallel circuit. The total resistance is calculated using the parallel resistance formula. An example problem demonstrates calculating total current in a parallel-series circuit given voltage drops and resistor values.

    SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUITS

    • The circuit is a combination of series and parallel connections, but when simplified
    the final circuit is a series circuit.

    EXAMPLE:
    A 10 Ω resistor is connected in series with two resistance in parallel of 7.5 Ω and R. What is the
    ohmic value of R if the total current drawn from a 20 V dc source is 1.5 A?

    Soln.
    R1= 10 Ω
    Rt = Vt / It = 20 / 1.5 = 13.333 Ω

    Rt = R1 + + 1

    20 V
    R2 = 7.5 Ω

    13.333 = 10 + + 1

    PARALLEL-SERIES CIRCUITS

    EXAMPLE:
    A 12 Ω resistor is connected in parallel with series combination of resistors of 8 Ω and 16 Ω. If
    the voltage drop across the 8 Ω resistor is 48 V, what is the value of the total current?

    FORMULA: E2 = 48 V

    Et = E1 = ( E2 + E3 ) R2 = 8 Ω
    It
    It = I1 + I2 I2
    1 1 -1
    Rt = + Et I1
    R1 R2 + R3 R1 = 12 Ω
    R3 = 16Ω
    Soln.
    I2 = E2 / R2 = 48 / 8 = 6 A
    Et = (E2 + E3) = 6(8) + 6(16) = 144 V
    I1 = E1 / R1 = 144 / 12 = 12 A
    It = I1 + I2 = 6 +12 = 18 A
