Resistor Combinations
Once again, the purpose of this experiment is to test Ohm’s Law. In order to accomplish this purpose we will explore resistors combined in various ways: series, parallel, and other combinations that are neither series nor parallel. Experienced electrical network analysts can often size up a circuit rapidly and almost tell at a glance which resistors are connected in series, parallel, etc. Until you become that experienced, here’s a nuts-and-bolts technique to help you out:
Given a pair of resistors,
Neither series nor parallel; try another pair of resistors.
Does the same current flow through both resistors?
Series
yes
Do both resistors have the same voltage across them?
Parallel
yes
no
no
As an example, to show how this works, let’s analyze the following combination:
R2
R3
R1
-
+
Are R1 and R2 in series or parallel? Let’s try the technique.
· Does the same current flow through both? No, the current moving up through R1 can branch left, and not all go through R2 . So they are not in series.
· Do they have the same voltage across them? No, there will be a voltage drop across R3 , so the voltage is not the same. So they are not in parallel.
Looks like we’ll have to try another pair of resistors. How about R2 and R3 ? Well, the current has no place to go other than through both of them in succession, so R2 and R3 are in series. Thus Req, 23 = R2 + R3 , and we can replace R2 and R3 by their equivalent resistor in the diagram, yielding:Req, 23
R1
-
+
Now, how about R1 and Req, 23 ? Let’s apply the test.
· Does the same current go through each?
