Solution

The circuit you uploaded is a combination circuit, which contains both series and parallel components. Here’s the breakdown:

  1. The top portion of the circuit (with resistors labeled R2R_2 and R3R_3) is a parallel circuit. These two resistors are connected side by side, with current splitting between them.
  2. The resistor at the bottom, R1R_1, is in series with the parallel combination of R2R_2 and R3R_3, as the current must flow through R1R_1 before it divides into the two parallel branches.

Thus, the circuit is neither purely series nor purely parallel but rather a series-parallel circuit.

Would you like details on how to calculate the equivalent resistance or the current in this circuit?

Here are some relative questions:

  1. How do you calculate the total resistance in a series-parallel circuit?
  2. What is the formula for the current distribution in a parallel branch?
  3. How can Ohm's Law be applied to analyze this circuit?
  4. What would happen if you added another resistor in parallel to R2R_2 and R3R_3?
  5. How does the total resistance change if you increase R1R_1?

Tip: In series circuits, current stays the same across components, while in parallel circuits, the voltage across each branch remains the same.
