08 Combination circuits (series - parallel circuits)

About this episode

This episode discusses how to simplify combination circuits and troubleshoot them in practical situations.

Combination circuits are just series and parallel circuits combined into one circuit. So, the same series and parallel circuit rules, Kirchhoff's and Ohm's Laws apply. The key is to know how and where to simplify the combination circuit. There may be more than one option for you to simplify a combination circuit. Here we discuss how to simplify combination circuits to find all of the resistance, voltage power or current values needed, and we discuss how to troubleshoot combination circuits in practical situations.
