20.3 Complex Resistor Combinations Date, Section, Pages, etc. Mr. Richter
Agenda • Warm-Up • Review HW • p. 744 #1-4 • p. 745 #1-6 • Complex Resistor Combinations • Complex Circuit Problem Solving • Equivalent Resistance • Current and Voltage Drops
Objectives: We Will Be Able To… • Determine the equivalent resistance of a complex resistor combination. • Determine the current through and voltage drop across a resistor within a complex resistor combination.
Warm-up • Calculate the equivalent resistance of an 8.0 Ω resistor and a 4.0 Ω resistor arranged in parallel.
Complex Resistor Combinations • Most circuits are not purely series circuits or purely parallel circuits. • Most circuits are a combination of series and parallel circuits.
Equivalent Resistance • To determine the equivalent resistance in a complex circuits: • Redraw the circuit in a line. • Combine all resistors in series and redraw • Combine all resistors in parallel and redraw • Repeat
Equivalent Resistance: Resistors in Series 6.0 Ω 2.0 Ω 1.0 Ω 3.0 Ω 6.0 Ω 4.0 Ω
Equivalent Resistance: Resistors in Series 8.0 Ω 6.0 Ω 2.0 Ω 1.0 Ω 3.0 Ω 6.0 Ω 9.0 Ω 4.0 Ω
Equivalent Resistance: Resistors in Parallel 8.0 Ω 1.0 Ω 9.0 Ω 4.0 Ω
Equivalent Resistance: Resistors in Parallel 8.0 Ω 1.0 Ω 9.0 Ω 2.7 Ω 4.0 Ω
Equivalent Resistance: Repeat (Resistors in Series) 1.0 Ω 2.7 Ω 9.0 Ω 12.7 Ω
Current and Voltage Drops • To find the current through and voltage drop across a specific resistor, work your way back from the equivalent resistors! • Calculate the current. • Then the voltage drops. • Redraw and repeat. 6.0 Ω 2.0 Ω 1.0 Ω 3.0 Ω 6.0 Ω 4.0 Ω 12.7 Ω =
Current and Voltage Drops I = 0.71 A 1.0 Ω 9.0 Ω 2.7 Ω 12.7 Ω
Current and Voltage Drops I = 0.71 A 1.0 Ω 2.7 Ω 9.0 Ω V = 1.9V
Current and Voltage Drops V = 1.9V 8.0 Ω 1.0 Ω 9.0 Ω 2.7 Ω 4.0 Ω
Current and Voltage Drops V = 1.9V I = 0.24 A 8.0 Ω 6.0 Ω 2.0 Ω 1.0 Ω 9.0 Ω 4.0 Ω
Current and Voltage Drops I = 0.24 A V = (0.24 A)(2.0Ω) V = 0. 48 V 6.0 Ω 2.0 Ω 1.0 Ω 9.0 Ω 4.0 Ω
Wrap-Up: Did we meet our objectives? • Determine the equivalent resistance of a complex resistor combination. • Determine the current through and voltage drop across a resistor within a complex resistor combination.
