Using circuit magic to calculate circuit resistances

Circuit simplifications using star-to-
delta, parallel and series
transformations, seems pretty
powerful. It allows one to obtain
resistances a circuit that has a planar,
mesh structure (the "window pane"
structure). The term planar is used to
describe circuits that can be drawn in
a plane without the need for wires to
cross one another. Circuit Magic can
help you to obtain both planar and
non-planar circuits resistances.
Sample circuit. Resistors resistances
are different values (not simple, Try to
simplify it using star-to-delta, parallel
and series transformationsü).


Step 2. Solve circuit using Node
Voltage method
Step 2. Calculate circuit resistance
using Ohms Law

Resistors in Series & Resistors in Parallel

Series Connection
A series circuit is one with all the loads
in a row. Like links in a chain. There is
only one path for the electricity to
flow.


Parallel Connection
A parallel circuit is one that has two or
more paths for the electricity to flow.
In other words, the loads are parallel
to each other.
