 Series-parallel circuit

 Objective :
Become familiar with connect the series-parallel circuits and examine the
series parallel combination.

 Theory:
A series-parallel configuration is one that is formed by a combination
of series and parallel elements Fig.1.

The network in Fig. .1 is a series-parallel network. At first, you must

be very careful to determine which elements are in series and which
are in parallel. For instance, resistors R1 and R2 are not in series due
to resistor R3 connected to the common point b between R1 and R2.
Resistors R2 and R4 are not in parallel because they are not connected
at both ends. They are separated at one end by resistor R3. The need to
be absolutely sure of your definitions from the last two chapters now
becomes obvious. In fact, it may be a good idea to refer to those rules
as we progress through this chapter. If we look carefully enough at
Fig. 1 , we do find that the two resistors R3 and R4 are in series
because they share only point c, and no other element is connected to
that point
 Tools:
1. Resistor.
2. Project Board.
3. Power Supply.
4. The Digital Multimeter.
5. Connecting Wires.

 Procedure:
1. We connect the circuit on the project board by connecting the
resistors and connecting them with connecting wires
2. We set the voltage source to 12 volts.
3. We read the voltage value at each resistance.
4. We read the value of the current in each resistance
5. Calculate the total resistance.
Results:
practically
VT=12V
V1=11. 99 V
V2=8.32 V
V3=6.18 V
V4=2.169 V
V5=1.9 7V

IT= I1=9.8 mA
I2=5.5 mA
I3=4.4 mA
I4=1.29 mA
I5=1.33 mA
RT=1.167 kΩ

theoretically
R1=1.6 kΩ
R2=2.2 kΩ
R3=4.7kΩ
R4=3.7 kΩ
R5=0.82 kΩ
 R5 ,R4 ln Series Because I4=I5=1.3 mA , R'=4.52kΩ
R' , R3 paralle Because I2 is divieded I2 is divided by the rectifier
R3 and the resultant of the two resistors R4 * R5, R''=2.30kΩ
Thus the resistance is connected in parallel with the branch
containing the two rectifiers The value of the total current IT = 9.8
mA is divided by the resistance R1 and the sum of the remaining
resistances
If the resistance is connected in parallel with the equivalent
resistance of the rest of the circuit. The voltage V3 is divided into
the two resistors R4 , R5 Thus the two resistors are connected in
series, The value of the total voltage VT = 12 volt is divided by the
resistance R1 and the sum of the remaining resistances The
resistance R1 is connected in series with the equivalent resistance
of the rest of the circuit
Theoretical equivalent resistance value = 0.935 K
Error ratio = (1.167 -0.935) /1.167 * 100% = 0.19 %
