Resistors in Electric Circuits (9 of 16) Combination Resistors No. 1

Shows how to claculates the voltages, resistances and currents for a circuit containing two parallel resistors that are in series with one other resistor.
In a series circuit, the current is only able to flow through a single path. In a series circuit, the current is the same throughout the entire circuit. The voltage in a series circuit is divided across each of the resistors. If one of the resistors in a series circuit stops working, the current will not be able to flow through the rest of the circuit.
In a parallel circuit, the electrical current flows through multiple paths before returning to the power source. The voltage drop in a parallel circuit is the same across all of the resistors. In a parallel circuit, the current is divided up through each of the resistors. If one of the resistors in a parallel circuit stops working, the other resistors in parallel will be able to continue to working.
A resistor limits the electric current that flows through a circuit. Resistance is the restriction of current. In a resistor the energy of the electrons that pass through the resistor are changed to heat and/or light. For example, in a light bulb, the tungsten filament acts as a resistor that heats up because of the current going through it, causing it to glow. Ohm’s law, V = I x R, states that the voltage drop across a resistor is equal to the product of the current flowing in the resistor multiplied by the resistance of the resistor.

I'm watching your circuit videos the night before a big test because I didn't pay attention to lectures, because my teacher is a spaz and is all over the place. But I have to say, you are TOTALLY saving my grade. Thank goodness for you

[@vivibadabing1]

Very good tutorial. I came across many monotone tutorials..this one by far was the best explanation and clarification of combonation circuits. well done sir!

[@VoidHalo]

This video was instrumental in me finally figuring this out. Thanks for posting it. Some other explanation I found before had you "stretch" the circuit out into a straight line, and for some reason start with series resistors and all kinds of convoluted junk. Think was just straight to the point, and I especially loved that you didn't assume any knowledge. Even taking the time to briefly explain the thing about the reciprocal, but without beating a dead horse for people who already knew what it was.

[@stepbystepscience]

Great and thanks for the comment.

[@MonkeyBrothersProduction]

I'm Currently doing a electrical engineering course and i was struggling too understand our Resistors in electric circuits worked, it wasn't that my teachers were bad i just struggled too understand the information but after this video ive learnt more than i need too know and now i feel confident for my semester exams that are happening this week for my course Thanks for all the help and being more understanding!

[@stepbystepscience]

[@6ft3introvert]

@@stepbystepscience I do have a question though.... When you are trying to solve for resistance current and voltage, how do you know which ones to solve for next after you solve for the totals?

[@stepbystepscience]

@@6ft3introvert Good question, these problems are a bit more complicated because there are multi-part and there is not one way to get everything. For this problem you can get the voltage across the bottom resistor, because it has the total current and you are given the resistance. Then you can get the voltage across the parallel resistors and their currents. Does that help?

[@wendyfriz]

thank uu, literally i was soo stuck before this. I had watched a ton of "How do calculate the voltage drop in circuit videos"', but for some reason i could never find ones, where the circuit included both parallel and series and how to calculate INDIVIDUAL VOLTAGES AND CURRENT. Like , before i only knew how to calculate the total current and resistance in combination circuits, this helped a lot in terms of findind those for individual resistors:) Made so much sense, when you explained, so thanks a shit ton, u saved my grade ahaha

Thanks Brian! I'm a bit confused. We know that parallel resistor has the same voltage as Vt. How come Voltage going into R1 and R2 is not 24V?. Could it be that wire going into R1 and R2 from the power source has nothing in between that interfere with the voltage, while the wire going out, back to the source is interfere by R3?
