Lesson: Analyzing Combination Circuits Physics • Third Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to determine the currents through and voltages across parts of circuits that contain resistors both in series and parallel.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

determine the characteristics of circuits containing resistors with both series and parallel combinations by calculating the equivalent resistance of circuit branches,
use Kirchhoff’s laws to calculate currents in circuit branches where currents cannot be calculated using equivalent resistance methods.
