Shorts in a parallel ckt

Suppose a short space is placed across resistor R3 shown in the diagram below

Let us draw the diagram (Screenshort 1 & 2)

R=0 , I=infinity

Important factors:

 In figure 1 not only is R3 circuited . both R1 & R2 are shorted ckt. Short in one brance means
short across all parallel brances. That is why R1 & R2 will be short circuit
 No current in the shorted resistor. If there is three bulbs they will not glow.
 Shorted component(resistor) are not damaged. They(bulb) would be glow again if we remove
short circuit.

“Open” in a parallel ckt

In parallel circuit open occurs in 2 cases either in the main line or in the brance.

Let us consider in the diagram shown below (Screenshort 5,4,3)

Important factors:

 In figure 2(a) none one bulb is glow. But all brances felt voltage drops across all the brances.
Voltage …….Screenshort 6
 In figure 2(b) open occurs in the brance R1 so there is no current. But otjher 2 brances oprate
normally because there current will blow.
 If we put volt meter we will get the same value reading same as applied voltage. (220volt)

Now according passion cdt are divided in either Seris, Parralel, Seris-parralel combination.

seris cdt

In seris cdt component are connected in 2 end. So all current passes through passes all component.

Figure shown in the bellow (Screenshort 9 )

o Only one path is available for current flow. Why??? (H.W)

o Equivalent resistor RT=R1+R2+R3 [I= circuit current, I=V/R, Rt=Equivalent/total resistance]
o Total voltage drop across resistor to the appliled [V=V1+V2+V3]

Parallel cdt
It is the arrangement of resistance connected parallelly shown in figure 4 (Screenshort 10/11)

Factors:

o In parallel ckt different brance loads can operate independently of each other. So if any one of
this load is disconnected other load continue to operate normally.
