ECT 2440 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Circuit Diagram, Current Source, Matlab
Document Summary
Parallel resistances: a special case (two resistors): Conductances in series and parallel: conductance is the reciprocal of resistance: combine conductances in series as you would resistances in parallel. Combine conductances in parallel as you would resistances in series: conductances in series, conductances in parallel: Series versus parallel circuits: when we want to distribute power from a single voltage source to various loads, we usually place the loads in parallel. 2. 2 network analysis by using series and parallel equivalents (steps: begin by locating a combination of resistances that are in series or parallel. Often the place to start is farthest from the source: redraw the circuit with the equivalent resistance for the combination found in step 1, repeat steps 1 and 2 until the circuit is reduced as far as possible. Often (but not always) we end up with a single source and a single resistance: solve for the currents and voltages in the final equivalent circuit.
