Introduction
A series-parallel configuration is one
that is formed by a combination of
series and parallel elements.
A complex configuration is one in which
none of the elements are in series or
parallel.

Series–parallel Networks
General approach to circuit analysis:
Study the problem in total and make a brief mental
sketch of the overall approach you plan to use.
Examine each region of the network independently
before tying them together in series-parallel
combinations.
Redraw the network as often as possible with
reduced branches and undisturbed unknown
quantities to maintain clarity.

Reduce and Return Approach
Reduce:
Reduce the circuit to its simplest form
across the source and then determine the
source current (Is).
Return:
Using the resulting source current (Is) to
work back to the desired unknown.

Block Diagram Approach
Network is broken down into
combinations of elements.
Initially, there will be some concern about
identifying series and parallel elements, but
that will come with practice.
In reverse, the block diagram approach
can be used effectively to reduce the
apparent complexity of a system by
identifying the major series and parallel
components of the network.
