The first goal to accomplish in analyzing a complex series-parallel circuit is to____________?
Correct answer: B. solve for the total current and resistance
- A. solve for all the voltage drops
- B. solve for the total current and resistance
- C. equate all series components
- D. equate all parallel components
Explanation
A complex series-parallel circuit is first reduced to an equivalent total resistance, after which the source current can be found using Ohm's law. Individual branch voltages and currents are then calculated from that total current.
