 PARALLEL CIRCUITS - EQUIVALENT CIRCUITS

In the study of electricity it is often necessary to reduce a complex circuit into a simpler form.

Any complex circuit consisting of resistances can be redrawn (reduced) to a basic equivalent circuit containing the voltage source and a single resistor representing total resistance.

This process is called reduction to an EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT.
