@marc1bb The video is correct. You and @orsonr1 can not simply add up the voltages. Watch the video again and pay attention to the parallel circuit. R3 & R4 are in series and then both are in parallel with R2. The total voltage drop over this portion is 20V due to this being a parallel network. The total voltage is 100 volts. So be careful when working with combination circuits. Watch the videos again and this time work along. You will realize your mistakes, then.
@pawns17 Great. This video sequence is focused on offering you a solid process for taking on any kind of combination circuit. I am happy that they are helpful! I will be filming more in 2012 focusing on digital logic circuits and boolean algebra.
@orsonr1 -the video is correct and will help you understand this type of combination circuit. You find the voltage drop on R1 by taking the given total voltage of 100V - (voltage drops R2 thru R6 which was determined in 3rd redraw). I suggest you watch it again and this will offer you clear understanding. Make no assumptions, follow the process :) and enjoy!
@orsonr1 formulas are R=V/i, R=100/2=50 or I=V/R where I=100/50=2 and V=IR =2x50=100 those values are the only values that satisfy the problem. When she adds the voltages she should get 100 instead of 120 like she did and did not pay attention to it.
Thank you Eeris. You are an awesome instructor. My understanding has been increased 100 fold and I have been working in the Industrial Maintenance Field for 30+ years.
Thank you for your kind comments. I am so happy that these vids have helped. I am launching another group on youtube this next week re: understanding the physics of ohm's law, simple series circuits, and simple parallel circuits. This will help people with the basics that will build up to combination circuit analysis
Hey Eeris just wanted to say thanks for the 3 lessons on combination circuits. I missed a few classes in my basic electrical theory class due to poor weather and this was a great way to catch up. Keep up the great work. You made combination circuits very easy to understand.
So this was pretty simple but an excellent example. What I need is instead of the parallel resistors being equal in resistance, having maybe a 30ohm and a 5ohm. Then you would need to use Kirchoffs Current Law or Ohm laws. My instructor like to use KCL for complex ladder networks, I prefer Ohms law instead. He assures me KCL is much easier. I just don't understand the R opposite part of it once it's almost completely solved.
Kunal, there is no mistake. Watch the video again and follow along. Remember, this is a combination circuit. R2-4 offers a total resistance over that combo branch of 10 ohms with a voltage drop of 20V. You can't simply add up the voltages over each resistor in the table for the total because it is a combination circuit. The table is used to help us keep track over each resistor while we are doing the analysis. I would suggest you follow along again and pay attention to the 2nd & 3rd redraw.
@Kunal943 She is correct, you are right, the numbers in the voltage column add up to 120. However, that's not the way it works. Because R2 is in parallel with resistors R3,R4, those voltage values are equal (Voltage in a parallel circuit VT=V1=V2=V3=...VN). Look at the amps and resistance, the same thing is happening, the column total is different than IT or RT. What the 100v represents is the voltage at the source, not actual the total of all voltages.
@Exutus There are two kinds of circuits: series circuits, which have the same current all through, but voltage drops that add up, and parallel circuits, which have the same voltage (energy) across but circuit (electron flow) that adds up. I just memorized that without understanding, then did the exercises, and slowly it is starting to make sense. You'll get it!
Water pressure is a little like electric current - think of how the flow of water gets less if you divide it into two pipes!
nice works and very clear of instructions you made of. These surely encourage all those students having hard to solve a combination circuit problem. :)
the one who pushed the dislike button... it must have been an accident... ooooor you're jus' wayyyy too stupid -_-

My calculation is just isolating known values and calculating R1 BEFORE, other values.
marc1bb 1 month ago
IF R=V / I then R=100/2=50ohms.and it satisfies any of the equations, for V and for I where V=I x R 100= 2 x 50 or I = V/R-2=100/50.

Voltage drop on R1 should be 20 volts and 10ohms resistance.
