COMBINATION
Series Parallel
COMBINATION CIRCUIT
A combination circuit is one that has a
"combination" of series and parallel paths
for the electricity to flow.
Remember these
Series CIRCUIT
• In a series circuit the current is constant or the same throughout
the circuit.
• The total voltage across the series circuit is divided among the
individual electrical components in a circuit.
• The current will not flow if one component of the circuit is open.
• The total resistance of the current in the circuit is the sum of
the individual resistance along the circuit path.
• Power is added to the circuit.
Parallel CIRCUIT
• The voltage is the same and constant throughout the circuit.
• The total resistance of a set of resistors in parallel circuit is
found by adding up the reciprocal of the resistance values and
taking the reciprocal of the total.
• Power is added to the circuit.
• If one component is open, there is still a continuous flow of
current on the circuit that will operate the other components.
• The total current in the circuit divides among the parallel
branches and recombines when it flow towards the positive
terminal.

ANALYSIS OF COMBINATION CIRCUITS
1. The basic strategy for the analysis of combination circuits
involves using the meaning of equivalent resistance for
parallel branches to transform the combination circuit
into a series circuit.

2. Once transformed into a series circuit, the analysis can be


conducted in the usual manner.

Computing Resistance in a Series circuit

RT = R1 + R2

RT = 56,000 + 47,000

RT= 103,000 Ohms

= 103 k Ohms

Next, we calculate the amperage in the circuit.


In a series circuit the
I = E / RT
current is constant or the
I = 24V / 103,000 Ohms
same throughout the
I = 0.0002 Amp
circuit.
= 0.2 mA / 200 A
We can now calculate what the voltage drops across
each resistor using Ohm's Law
Formula:

E=IxR

Where:

ER1 = Voltage at resistor 1


ER2 = Voltage at resistor 2

I = Current
R = Resistance

ER1 = 0.0002 Amp x 56,000 Ohms ER2 = 0.0002 Amp x 47,000 Ohms
ER1 = 11.2 V ER2 = 9.4 V
Remember
Rounding off answers will not give an accurate result
I = 0.0002 Amp

RT= 103,000 Ohms


24V
VT= 24 V

P = 0.0048 W
100 k
100,000 
I = 0.0002 Amp

RT= 103,000 Ohms

VT= 24 V

P = 0.0048 W
100 k
100,000 
You can find TOTAL RESISTANCE in a Parallel
circuit with the following formula:

1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...

1/RT = 1/100,000  + 1/103,000 


1/RT = 0.00001 + 0.0000097
1/RT = 0.0000197

RT = 1/0.0000197
= 50,761.42 Ohms/ 50.76k 
For the total current

I total (IT) = ET / RT

I total (IT) = ET / RT
= 24V / 50,761.42 Ohms

The total current in the circuit I total (IT) = 0.00047 Amps / 0.47mA
divides among the parallel
branches and recombines when
it flow towards the positive
terminal.
For the total current

I=E/R

I1 = 24V / 100,000 Ohm = 0.00024 A


I2 = 24V / 103,000 Ohms = 0.00023 A

The total current in the circuit


divides among the parallel I1 + I2 = 0.00047 Amps
branches and recombines when
it flow towards the positive I total (IT) = 0.00047 Amps / 0.47mA
terminal.
For the total Power

P=ExI

P1 = 24V x 0.00024 A = 0.00576 W


P2 = 24V x 0.00023 A = 0.00552 W

P1 + P2 = 0.01148 W
Power is added to the circuit.
P total (PT) = 11.48 mW
