SERIES PARALLEL RESISTOR COMBINATIONS
UP TO NOW WE HAVE STUDIED CIRCUITS THAT
CAN BE ANALYZED WITH ONE APPLICATION OF
KVL(SINGLE LOOP) OR KCL(SINGLE NODE-PAIR)
WE HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT IN SOME SITUATIONS
IT IS ADVANTAGEOUS TO COMBINE RESISTORS
TO SIMPLIFY THE ANALYSIS OF A CIRCUIT
NOW WE EXAMINE SOME MORE COMPLEX CIRCUITS
WHERE WE CAN SIMPLIFY THE ANALYSIS USING
THE TECHNIQUE OF COMBINING RESISTORS…
… PLUS THE USE OF OHM’S LAW
