8 DC Series-Parallel Circuits

Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:

• Identify series and parallel sections within a complex combination circuit.

• Systematically calculate the total equivalent resistance of a series-parallel circuit.

• Determine total current, and calculate the specific voltage drops and branch currents for every component in the circuit.

• Apply a logical troubleshooting process to diagnose faults in series-parallel circuits, predicting how a fault in one area will affect other parts of the circuit.
