    DC Network Analysis

    An electrical network consists of circuit elements, such as resistance, voltage sources,


    and current sources, connected together to form closed paths. Network analysis is the process of
    determining the current, voltage and power for each element, the circuit diagram and the element
    values. There are many different techniques for calculating these values. A useful procedure in
    network analysis is to simplify the network by reducing the number of components.

    Series Circuit
    A series circuit is a circuit in which resistors are arranged in a chain, so the current has
    only one path to take.
    IT = I1 = I2 = I3 = . . . In

    RT = R1 + R2 + R3 + . . . Rn

    VT = V1 + V2 + V3 + . . . Vn

    Parallel Circuit
    A parallel circuit is a circuit in which the resistors are arranged with their heads
    connected together, and their tails connected together.
    IT = I1 + I2 + I3 + . . . In

    VT = V1 = V2 = V3 = . . . Vn

    Series-Parallel Circuit
    Most circuits are not just a series or parallel circuit; most have resistors in parallel and in
    series. These circuits are called combination circuits. When solving problems with such
    circuits, use this series of steps.

    1. For resistors connected in parallel, calculate the single equivalent resistance that can


    replace them.
    2. For resistors in series, calculate the single equivalent resistance that can replace them.

    3. By repeating steps 1 and 2, you can continually reduce the circuit until only a single
    equivalent resistor remains. Then you can determine the total circuit current.
    The voltage drops and currents though individual resistors can then be calculated.

    Voltage Divider Rule


    The Voltage Divider Rule (VDR) states “The voltage is divided between two or more
    series resistors in direct proportion to their resistance.”

    Current Divider Rule


    Current Divider Rule (CDR) divides the total input current to various paths or loads in
    fractions of the input current. The current divider rule can be used as a quick way of calculating
    branch currents when a current flow into a junction with two parallel branches.
