SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT
A series-parallel configuration is one that is formed by a combination of series and
parallel elements

A complex configuration is one in which none of the elements are in series or


parallel.

REDUCE AND RETURN APPROACH :
SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT
EXAMPLE 7.1 Find current I3 for the series-parallel network in Fig. 7.3.
SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Solution: Checking for series and parallel elements, we find that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.
Their total resistance is

Replacing the parallel


combination with a single
equivalent resistance results in
the configuration in Fig. 7.4.
Resistors R1 and R2 are then in
series, resulting in a total
resistance of
SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Solution:
The source current is then determined using Ohm’s law:

In Fig. 7.4, since R1 and R2 are in series, they have


the same current Is. The result is

Returning to Fig. 7.3, we find that I1 is the total current entering the parallel combination of R2
and R3. Applying the current divider rule results in the desired current:
SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT
EXAMPLE 7.2 For the network in Fig. 7.5:Determine currents I4 and Is and voltage V2.
SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Solutions: Checking out the network, we find that there are no two resistors in
series and the only parallel combination is resistors R2 and R3. Combining the
two parallel resistors results in a total resistance of

Redrawing the network with resistance R’ inserted


results in the configuration in Fig. 7.6.
SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Solutions: the voltage is the same across each branch. That is, the voltage across the series
combination of R1 and R’ is 12 V and that across resistor R4 is 12 V. The result is that I4 can be
determined directly using Ohm’s law as follows:

the total voltage across the series


combination of R1 and R’T is 12 V, the
voltage divider rule can be applied to
determine voltage V2 as follows:
SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Solutions: The current Is can be found one of two ways. Find the total
resistance and use Ohm’s law or find the current through the other parallel
branch and apply Kirchhoff’s current law. Since we already have the current I4,
the latter approach will be applied:

PRACTICE PROBLE : For the network in FOLLOWING FIGURE:

c. Find current I2.

CURRENT SOURCES
The current source is often described as the dual of the voltage source .Just as
a battery provides a fixed voltage to a network, a current source establishes a
fixed current in the branch where it is located.
The symbol for a current source appears in Fig. 8.1(a). The arrow indicates the
direction in which it is supplying current to the branch where it is located. In
Fig. 8.1(b),
CURRENT SOURCES

In general, therefore,
a current source determines the direction and magnitude of the current in the branch where
it is located.

Furthermore, the magnitude and the polarity of the voltage across a current source are
each a function of the network to which the voltage is applied.
