Homework (2) Simple Resistive Circuits

Objective: After completion this Homework student will be able to:

 Recognize resistors connected in series and in parallel and use the rules
for combining series-connected resistors and parallel -connected
resistors to yield equivalent resistance.
 Know how to design simple voltage-divider and current-divider circuits.
 Use voltage division and current division appropriately to solve simple
resistive circuits.
 Know how to use delta-to-wye equivalent circuits to solve simple
circuits.
