Title:
Study of Combination of Series and Parallel Circuits.
Introduction:
The series-parallel networks are networks that contain both series and parallel circuit
configurations. The series circuit can be solved using the Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL)
and
Voltage divider rule (VDR). The parallel circuit can be solved using the Kirchhoff’s
current law
(KCL) and Current divider rule (CDR). The combination of series-parallel network can
be solved
using KVL, KCL, VDR and CDR.
The purpose of this experiment is:
1. To analyze the basic laws of series and parallel circuits.
2. To find the total circuit current of fixed circuit.
3. To observe the effect of two voltage sources in series.
Theory and Methodology:
Voltage sources can be connected in series as shown in Figure 1, to increase or decrease
the total
voltage applied to a system. The net voltage is determined simply by summing the
sources with the
same polarity and subtracting the total of the sources with the opposite “pressure.” The
net polarity
is the polarity of the larger sum.
In Figure 1(a), the sources are all “pressuring” current to the right, so the net voltage is
ET
= E1 + E2 + E3 = 10V + 2V + 6V = 18V as shown in the figure.
In Figure 1(b), however, the greater “pressure” is to the left, with a net voltage of ET =
E2 + E3 –
E1 = 9V + 3V – 4V = 8V and the polarity shown in the figure.
In many circuit applications, we encounter components connected together in one of two
ways to
form a three- terminal network: the “Delta,” or (also known as “pi,” or )
configuration, and the
“Y” (also known as the “T” ) configuration.

Discussion and Conclusion:
In this experiment, we solved a series-parallel circuit. By measuring the
voltage of each resistor, we can see that parallel resistors have the same
voltage. Also, multiple voltage sources do not affect the circuit’s voltage. It
acts as one single source by adding or subtracting both sources. The data/findings were
interpreted and determined to the extent to which the experiment was successful
incomplying. The goal was initially set. The ways of the study were
improved,investigated, and described by calculating and measuring the series and parallel
circuits.
