Combinational Circuits
Combinational Circuit
• Series-parallel circuit – it is a combinational circuit when
simplified will result into a series circuit.
• Parallel-series circuit – it is a combinational circuit when
simplified will result into a parallel circuit.
Sample Problems
1. Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit given in figure 1 between
the following points (a) A and B (b) C and D (c) E and F (d) A and F and
(e) A and C.

2. What is the value of the unknown resistor R in figure 2 if the
voltage drop across the 500-Ω resistor is 2.5 volts?
Solution:

Cost of Electrical Energy
A utility company will charge its customers for the electric energy
consumed.
• Energy Charge – is the cost of electrical energy consumed.
• Maximum Demand – is the user’s highest rate at which energy is
consumed in kilowatts.
• Demand Charge – is the billing fee related to the maximum charge.
Sample Problems
1. A 60 W lamp remains lighted for 24 hours per day for 30 days.
Determine (a) the electrical energy consumed over this period, (b) the
energy charge for the billing period at a rate of Php 5.93/kWh
Solution:

(a) For the electrical energy consumed over this period

𝑊 = 𝑃𝑡
ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠
𝑊 = 60 𝑊 × 24 × 30
𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑

𝑾 = 𝟒𝟑, 𝟐𝟎𝟎 𝑾𝒉 = 𝟒𝟑. 𝟐 𝒌𝑾𝒉


(b) For the energy charge for the billing period at a rate of Php 5.93/kWh

𝐸𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 = 𝑊 × 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦

𝑃ℎ𝑝 5.93
𝐸𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 = 43.2 𝑘𝑊ℎ ×

Sample Problems
2. A large residence consumes 1155 kWh of electrical energy over a
billing period. Determine the total charge for billing period based on
the rate schedule given below:
Service Charge Php 261.18
First 1000 kWh of billing period Php 5.92 per kWh
Next 2000 kWh of billing period Php 5.52 per kWh

Solution:
𝑃ℎ𝑝 5.92
𝐸𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 = 𝑃ℎ𝑝 261.18 + × 1000 𝑘𝑊ℎ
