Most practical circuits have
combinations of series and parallel
components.
Identifying series-parallel relationships
Components that are connected in
series will share a common path.
Components that are connected in
parallel will be connected across
the same two nodes.

Most practical circuits have various combinations of
series and parallel components. You can frequently
simplify analysis by combining series and parallel
components.
Combination circuits
An important analysis method is to form an equivalent
circuit. An equivalent circuit is one that has
characteristics that are electrically the same as
another circuit but is generally simpler.
