How to Solve Any Series and Parallel Circuit Problem

How do you analyze a circuit with resistors in series and parallel configurations? With the Break It Down-Build It Up Method!

0:00 INTRO: In this video we solve a combination series and parallel resistive circuit problem for the voltage across, current through and power dissipated by the circuit's resistors.
1:32 BREAK IT DOWN: We redraw the circuit in linear form to more easily identify series and parallel relationships. Then we combine resistors using equivalent resistance equations. After redrawing several times we end up with a single resistor representing the equivalent resistance of the circuit. We then apply Ohm's Law to this simple (or rather simplified) circuit and determine the circuit current (I-0 in the video).
7:36 BUILD IT UP: Retracing our redraws, we determine the voltage across and current through each resistor in the circuit using Ohm's Law.
12:51 POWER: After tabulating our solutions we determine the power dissipated by each resistor.

    There are some who are incredibly smart, BUT they either (1) want to show off how smart they are and talk in hieroglyphics or (2) don't know how to explain in simple terms a complex situation. End result, they can't teach for sh*t. Then there are those who are smart or have long experience but can explain a complex situation to the average Joe walking down the street. They are the TRUE teachers, they are rare & gifted. Jesse Mason is one of the gifted.

    ​@@JesseMason"Two parallel conductors, 20 Ohms being the resistance of each, are binded to a source of emf=120V and internal resistance 10 Ohms. The free ends and the middles of the two conductors are binded together with two lightbulbs, each of 200 Ohms resistance. Find the current passing through the source." This is in my textbook and they say it's I=0.89A. I was using this exact method to solve it and I don't see how that can be. I'm so confused. I would naturally assume it's a mistake in their solutions, but they even drew the circuit AND my solution is too far from 0.89A, namely 3.999A.

    @@JesseMasonAlso, if you could explain why parallelly tied resistors offer less resistance than each individual one of them, that would be great. Like if you tied 15 of 2 Ohms each in parallel, the total is just 2/15 Ohms. I am really confused as to why that is, can't really visualize it. Like, there are smoke pipes for fire house heaters that look like so: one pipe dividing into severall narrower ones and that after half a meter merge into a single one as wide as before the splitting. I'm sure you've seen those, they're called "savers" where I live, and their purpose is to slow down heat and "save" it within the room for longer than it would stay in the single wider pipe. It looks the same as a parallel circuit, and yet parallel circuits have the opposite effect. For electricity, parallel means less resistance, while for smoke and hot air it means more, and I am really confused as to why the former. It's so counter-intuitive.

    Nope ... if you use Kirchhoff's Voltage & Current Laws (KVL & KCL), with simultaneous equations, you get the voltage and currents across all segments simultaneously. There are no "redraws" involved ... so it scales well for more complex circuits (the real world). Imagine two of these problems on a 30 min test. This lecture was a good insight into equivalent circuits, if asked to reduce to that (i.e. reduce to Thevenin equivalent) ... but the "go to" method is voltage loops (KVL) and current nodes (KCL) simultaneous equations. I remember having to incorporate mutual inductance & capacitance ... and it mapped easily with simultaneous equations.

    You have no idea how much this helped me. I have an exam for physics in a week, so I sat down to study for it by looking at the previous exams. There was a problem similar to this but with the battery in the middle. I had no idea how to work it because my Professor assumes that we know how to draw these circuits and know what a diagonal wire is supposed to when he's only given us problem with them blatantly in series or parallel. I sat a solid hour trying to figure out the question, and then I just gave up and tried to see if anyone has solved the problem on the internet. It led me to this video, which is by far way more valuable than knowing how to solve the problem. I actually know how to do the problem step by step now and this video made it much easier for me to understand. I wish you were my professor ;-;.

    Hi Josh. Great question - and I've received many criticisms about that dummy resistor... If you have done a few of these circuits before, you'll probably know right away that j2 and j3 are one and the same junction because a 0-ohm wire unites them. Not all newbs see that right away though so I incorporate the dummy resistor to 1) visually demonstrate the logic of uniting the junctions separated by a wire, 2) make the translation from the given circuit to the first redraw crystal clear, and 3) highlight the assumption we're making about the resistance of our wire, which is simply not true in the real world. Hope that answers your question, Josh. Cheers from Detroit!

    Heres a little story I made up to remember the rules of series and parallel circuits. Its incredibly cheesy. Once upon a time there was a parallel player. He hit up all the women with the same line.... voltage. Since he had so manny women to go to he didn't face much resistance. only problem was he had to divide up all his currency amongst all of them. After playing the field he got into a series of serious relationships. Since the woman were more traditional each one gave him her full resistance. To show that he was a one woman at a time man he gave each his full currency. He even dropped some voltage at each one until finally he spent the last of it at the last one. Hope this helps at least one person out there.
