Combination CircuitsAny circuit in which the same current flows through all components is a(n) __?
___ circuit. - correct answer ✔series
Any circuit in which the current is split or follows two (or more) alternative
paths is called a(n) ___?___ circuit. - correct answer ✔parallel
A circuit in which some of the components are series connected, while other
components are parallel connected, is called a(n)
__?___ or ___?___ circuit. - correct answer ✔combination
series-parallel
When it is difficult to recognize which parts of a circuit are series connected
and which are parallel connected in a
combination circuit , it is often necessary to ___?____ the circuit. - correct
answer ✔redraw
For combination circuits, trace the current paths through the circuit to
determine which resistors are connected in series
and which are connected in parallel. (True/False) - correct answer ✔True
The first step is to reduce the combination circuit to a simpler circuit one part
at a time. (True/False) - correct answer ✔True
Three resistors in parallel can be reduced to a single equivalent resistor.
(True/False) - correct answer ✔True
, In a combination circuit, the amount of current that passes through each
resistor is exactly the same. (True/False) - correct answer ✔False
No matter how complex a combination circuit is, it can be reduced to a single
voltage , current, and resistance.
(True/False) - correct answer ✔True
When simplifying resistance in series and parallel , a(n) ___?___ resistancce
is substituted back into the circuit that
represents the total value as all of the resistances that were combined. -
correct answer ✔equivalent
In reducing series-parallel circuits to the simplest form, the equivalent circuit is
usually represented by ____?___ that
is connected in ___?___ with the voltage source. - correct answer ✔one
equivalent resistance
series
What are the basic steps in reducing a combination circuit to its simplest
form? - correct answer ✔1. Reduce one part of the circuit at a time.
2. Redraw the circuit, exchanging the equivalent circuit for the original
resistors, this helps you visualize the next
required steps.
3. Ensure that all series resistors have been combined before a parallel
portion is reduced.
4. Combine parallel portions to a single resistor.
