Series Parallel Circuit: Prepared By: Engr. Marvin Villorente

This document discusses series and parallel circuits. It defines Ohm's Law relating voltage, current and resistance. It describes that in series circuits, the current is the same through each component and the voltage drops across each component add up to the total. In parallel circuits, the voltage is the same across each branch and the total current is the sum of the currents in each branch. Examples of calculations for each type of circuit are provided.

OHM’S LAW
OHM’S LAW
 One of the most fundamental law in electrical circuits relating voltage,
current and resistance
 Developed in 1827 by German physicist Georg Simon Ohm

CIRCUITS AND NETWORKS


OHM’S LAW
 According to Ohm’s Law, the current (I) flowing in an electrical circuit is directly is
directly proportional to the applied voltage (E) and inversely proportional to the
equivalent resistance (R) of the circuit and mathematically expressed as:

Voltage Division for Series Circuit:

EX = ET • RX
RT
Where: EX – voltage across the resistor concerned
ET – total voltage across the circuit
RX – the resistor concerned
RT – the sum of all resistances in the circuit

SERIES/PARALLEL CIRCUITS
POWER IN ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

When there is current through a resistance, the collisions of the electrons as they move
through the resistance give off heat, resulting in a conversion of electrical energy to
thermal energy as indicated in Figure .

The amount of power dissipated in an electrical circuit is dependent on the amount of


resistance and on the amount of current, expressed as follows: P = I2R
P = VI P = V2/R

1. The hot resistance of an incandescent lamp is 10 ohms and the rated voltage is 50 V. Find
the series resistance required to operate the lamp from an 80 V supply.
2. Two (2) 115-V incandescent lamps A and B are connected in series across a 230- V source. If
lamp A is rated 75 watts and lamp B is rated 50 watts, determine the current drawn by the
series connection.
3. An arc lamp takes 10 A at 50 volts. A resistance R is to be place in series so that the lamp may
burn correctly from a 110 V supply. Find the power wasted in this resistor.
4. If a resistor rated at 5 watts and 6 volts are connected across a battery with an open circuit
voltage of 6 volts. What is the internal resistance of the battery if the resulting current is 0.8 A?

equivalent resistance?
2. The equivalent resistance of three resistors A, B and C connected in parallel is
1.714 ohms. If A is twice of B and C is half as much as B, find the equivalent
resistance when the three of them are connected in series.
3. Three resistors of 10, 12 and 15 ohms are connected in parallel. Evaluate the
value of current to the parallel system that will make the current in the 10 ohm
resistor equal to 2 A
4. Three resistors R1, R2 and R3 are connected in series parallel with R1 in series
with parallel combination of R2 and R3. The whole combination is connected across
a 120 V DC source. Resistors R1 R2 and R3 take 750 W, 250 W and 200 W
respectively Calculate the resistance R2
5. A 5-ohm resistance is connected in parallel with a 10-ohm resistance. Another
set, a 6-ohm and an 8-ohm resistance are also connected in parallel. The two sets
are connected in series. What is the equivalent resistance?
