What is a mixed circuit?
A mixed circuit is an electrical circuit that contains both series and parallel components.
How do you identify components in a series within a mixed circuit?
Components in a series share a single path for current to flow through.
What characterizes parallel components in a mixed circuit?
Parallel components each have their own path for current to flow.
How do you calculate total resistance in the series part of a mixed circuit?
Add up the resistance values of each component in the series.
How do you calculate total resistance in the parallel part of a mixed circuit?
Use the formula 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... for each parallel resistor.
Why is the voltage across components in parallel the same?
Because they are connected across the same two points in the circuit.
