FIGURE 7.1 Introducing the reduce and return approach. Series-Parallel Networks – Reduce and Return Approach Series-parallel networks are networks that contain both series and parallel circuit configurations For many single-source, series-parallel networks, the analysis is one that works back to the source, determines the source current, and then finds its way to the desired unknown.

FIGURE 7.2 Introducing the block diagram approach. Series-Parallel Networks Block Diagram Approach The block diagram approach will be employed throughout to emphasize the fact that combinations of elements, not simply single resistive elements, can be in series or parallel.
