1. Series-Parallel Circuits

2. Most practical circuits have both series and parallel components. Components that are connected in series will share a common path. Components that are connected in parallel will be connected across the same two nodes. Identifying Series-Parallel Relationships

3. You can frequently simplify circuit analysis by combining series and parallel components. An important analysis method is to form an equivalent circuit. An equivalent circuit is one with characteristics that are electrically the same as another circuit, but is generally simpler. Combination Circuits

4. For example: There are no electrical measurements that can distinguish the boxes. Equivalent Circuits is equivalent to

5. Again, there are no electrical measurements that can distinguish the boxes. Equivalent Circuits is equivalent to Another example:

6. There are no electrical measurements that can distinguish between the three boxes. Equivalent Circuits is equivalent to

7. Kirchhoff’s voltage law and Kirchhoff’s current law can be applied to any circuit, including combination circuits. For example, applying KVL, the path shown will have a sum of 0 V. Kirchhoff’s Law So will this one!
