1)Assignment: Analyzing a Parallel-Series Circuit

Problem:A circuit is made up of a 12Ω resistor and a 10Ω resistor in series, and this combination is
connected in parallel with a 15Ω resistor.

Calculate the total equivalent resistance and the current from a 30V source.

Determine the current through each resistor.

Solution:Finding the series combination resistance:When series resistors are involved, the equivalent
resistance is nothing but the sum of their individual resistances.Thus, 12Ω + 10Ω = 22Ω.Calculate the
total equivalent resistance of the parallel-series combination:The formula to calculate equivalent
resistance of resistors in parallel is: 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2.Where R1 is the equivalent resistance of the
series combination (22Ω) and R2 is the 15Ω resistor.So, 1/R_total = 1/22Ω + 1/15Ω.Solving for R_total,
which is equal to 1/8.63 we get R_total ≈ 8.63Ω.Calculating total current from the 30V source:Using
Ohm’s Law (V = IR), the current along the line can be found:I_total = V / R_total = 30V / 8.63Ω ≈ 3.47A.

Calculate the current through the 15Ω resistor:For instance, the 15Ω resistor is in parallel with the series
combination; it has the same voltage across it as that for the latter, which is 30V.Using Ohm’s Law
again:I_15 = V / R_15 = 30V / 15Ω = 2A.Calculate the current through the 12Ω and 10Ω resistors:In total,
the current follows the series connection and is equal to the total current minus the current through the
15Ω resistor:I_total = I_total – I_15 = 3.47A – 2A = 1.47A.Being that the 12Ω and 10Ω resistors are
connected in series, they possess the same current passing through both of them, which is 1.47A.So, the
total equivalent resistance is close to 8.63Ω, the total current coming from the 30V source is about
3.47A, the current through the 15Ω resistor is 2A, and the current through the 12Ω and 10Ω resistors
tend to 1.47A.

2)That is the superposition theorem: for a linear circuit the current in any branch is found by adding
together all the currents produced by a given set of independent sources supplied one at a time with all
other independent sources nulled out. We have two independent sources here: a 10V voltage source
and a 25 V voltage source.

To apply the superposition theorem we consider one source after the other, shorting out the others.

1. Leaving the 10V source on, shorting the 25V source:

The 25V source is replaced by a short circuit. The circuit has only the 10V source, 100Ω resistor, 250Ω
resistor and 50Ω resistor.

We will use Ohm’s Law and the current divider rule to calculate the current produced through the 15Ω
by the 10V source. We will simply call this current I1.

2. The 25V source ON, 10V source shorted

We substitute the 10V source with a short circuit. We now have the 25V source, 15Ω resistor, 250Ω
resistor and 200Ω resistor.

We will use Ohm’s Law and the current divider rule to solve for the current I2 resulting from passing
through the 15Ω resistor due to the 25V source.
3. Superposition:

I1 + I2 is the total current flowing through the 15Ω resistor

I_total = I1 + I2

How to find the current:

Find the total resistance for the circuit with the 10V source:

R_equivalent = (100Ω || 250Ω) + 50Ω

R_equivalent = 150Ω

Then calculate the current from the 10V source: \

I_total = 10V / 150Ω \

I_total = 1/15 A \

Then apply the current divider rule to obtain the current through the 15Ω resistor (I1): \

I1 = (50Ω / (50Ω + 150Ω)) * (1/15 A) \

I1 = 1/45 A \

Now proceed to calculate the equivalent resistance for the circuit with the 25V source:\

R_equivalent = 250Ω || 200Ω + 15Ω \

R_equivalent = 165Ω

I_total = 2/99 A + 1/55 A

I_total = (10 + 9)/495 A

I_total = 19 /495 A

The total current passing through the 15Ω resistor is 19/495A.
