State the procedure you would used to calculate a 5 resistor series-parallel circuit to a one 1 resistor circuit?

eq1) Rseries = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...
eq2) Rparallel = (R1-1 + R2-1 + R3-1 + ...)-1 or eq3) Rparallel = (R1 x R2) / (R1 + R2)
Note the second Rparallel equation can be used for only two resistors.
STEP 1 - Combine all parallel resistance into series resistances using eq2 or eq3.
STEP 2 - Combine all series resistances into a single resistance using eq1.
STEP 3 - Done.
hope this helps.

How do you calculate the time constant in a series resistor?
A resistor by itself has no time constant. For a circuit to have a time constant it must contain either capacitors or inductors.
A can be used to reduce the current in a circuit?
A resistor.
What is series dropping resistor?
A series dropping resistor is a resistor that limits the amount of current flow in a circuit.
If a 1.5 V battery is connected to a 330 Ohms resistor Calculate the current in the circuit?
Ohm's laws says it will be 1.5 vdc divided by 330 ohms.
What is the circuit symbol for resistor?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Symbols for a resistor".

Why resistor should disconnected from the circuit when measured the value of resistor?
if not disconnected you will measure the resistance of the circuit in parallel with the resistor.
What parts of a circuit acts as a resistor?
Any part of a circuit that has a voltage drop across it is a resistor.
A can be used to reduce the current in a circuit?
A resistor.
How does ohm's law works in a resistor circuit?
Ohm's law states that voltage is resistance times current. In a resistor circuit, knowing two of voltage, current, or resistance, you can calculate the third.Actually, this applies to any circuit, be it resistor, capacitor, or inductor. Ohm's law still applies - it just gets more complex when the phase angle of current is not the same as the phase angle of voltage.
What does the variable resistor do in a circuit?
It is used to vary the voltage/current flow in a circuit.
What is a single resistor the represents a complex circuit?
Equivalent Resistor
Function of resistor capacitor and transistor on integrated circuit?
resistor
What does a series circuit not have?
a resistor
What is a function of a resistor in a fire alarm circuit?
A resistor in a sensor circuit is used as a simple way to monitor the function of the circuit. The resistor has a calibrated and known voltage drop and current while the circuit is "normal". If there is a short-circuit, or an open-circuit, the voltage and current will change and trigger the trouble alarm.
