Generally,
1. Convert parallel branches into series equivalents
2. Solve for the total resistance
3. Solve for individual voltages
4. Solve for individual currents
5. Solve for power
parallel combination of resistors are used in house circuits
series
The three types of electronic circuits are called closed circuits, open circuits and series circuits. You will often hear these terms when an electrician explains what he is doing.
It is used to reduce the complexitiy of the networkAnswerNorton's Theorem is one of several theorems necessary to solve 'complex' circuits -i.e. circuits that are not series, parallel, or series parallel.
paralel circuits
Compound or combination circuits combine aspects of both parallel and series circuits.
Yes. There are also more complicated circuits, that can't be described ONLY as a combination of series and parallel circuits - basically, circuits that contain several loops.
parallel combination of resistors are used in house circuits
One way is to use Thevenin's theory and methods. Léon Charles Thévenin was a French telegraph engineer who extended Ohm's Law to the analysis of complex electrical circuits.
in series
Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.
Matrices are tools to solve linear equations. Engineers use matrices in solving electrical problems in circuits using Thevenin's and Norton's theories.
series
The combinational logic circuits are a type of logic circuits containing only logic gates (AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND, NOR) and its output only depends on the current input (do not have memory).
True. To solve a three variable system of equations you can use a combination of the elimination and substitution methods.
Use of complex numbers for circuit values (e.g. voltages, currents, reactances) is required to get correct answers for AC. The equations are the same as for DC circuits, but the numbers are complex not real. Also reactances vary with the frequency of the AC signals in the circuit.
The best way to stop earth leakage is to make sure that the are no active circuits going to ground. This will help keep the circuit running right.
