SERIES & PARALLEL CIRCUITS

In a circuit, elements may be connected in series, in parallel or in series-parallel. In this lesson, it is explained how we can obtain the equivalent value of elements connected in any one of the above combinations.

The sections are on:

• Resistors connected in series ,
• Resistors connected in parallel.
• Resistors in series-parallel,
• Inductors connected in series ,
• Inductors connected in parallel ,
• Capacitors connected in series ,
• Capacitors connected in parallel.

At first, we find out how to get the equivalent value, when resistors are connected in series. This lesson make use of Kirchoff''s laws for obtaining the equivalent value.
