Title: Construct series-parallel circuits.
Course: Electronics/Industrial Robotics Technology (17101-I) > Section: Working with DC Circuits

Construction should include

- defining the characteristics of a series-parallel circuit
- calculating current, voltage, resistance, and power in a series-parallel circuit, using Ohm's law, Watt's law, and Kirchoff's law
- measuring resistance, voltage, and current in a series-parallel circuit
- identifying series-parallel circuits at home and in industry
- troubleshooting series-parallel circuits.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What characteristic identifies a main-line component in a series-parallel circuit?
- Why is it important to learn to analyze series-parallel circuits?
- Which type of circuit is characterized by a current that stays the same?
