Series & Parallel ac Networks - Introduction In general, when working with series-parallel ac networks, consider the following approach: 1.Redraw the network, using block impedances to combine obvious series and parallel elements, which will reduce the network to one that clearly reveals the fundamental structure of the system. 2.Study the problem and make a brief mental sketch of the overall approach you plan to use. In some cases, a lengthy, drawn-out analysis may not be necessary. A single application of a fundamental law of circuit analysis may result in the desired solution. 3.After the overall approach has been determined, it is usually best to consider each branch involved in your method independently before tying them together in series-parallel combinations. In most cases, work back from the obvious series and parallel combinations to the source to determine the total impedance of the network. 4.When you have arrived a solution, check to see that it is reasonable by considering the magnitudes of the energy source and the elements in the circuit.
