A Review of DC Series and Parallel Circuits, especially the "Ladder Circuit", and important Equivalent Circuits

WA7RSO - 12/22/2020

First, the Quiz from 2001, with basic Series and Parallel problems, and the Combination Series and Parallel elements.

Finally, note the "Ladder" circuit at the bottom of the page.

Solve the Series Circuit problems here that require a little bit of deductive reasoning.

Now solve the Parallel Circuit problems here that also require a litle bit of deductive reasoning.

For a little more challenge, solve the Series/Parallel problems given here.

Here is the full layout for the challenge of solving the "Ladder Problem"

For comparisons of your answers to the "Crib Sheet", look here.

Now for some real fun, download this Parallel_Circuit that allows you to compute and show all values, including EOC and ISC for Thevinin's and Norton's Equivalent Circuit
