hello guys iam kind of new to electronics enginnering and actually iam having problems with the diffrentiation between prallel and series circuits i answer it wrong in my first test .. so can anybody teach me an strightforward way in how to figure out in a very compelx circuit which are seires and which are paralle .. plz
We'll, when circuit components are parallel (example, a two terminal device resister) bear in mind that their two-terminals are common with each other, my word "common" doesnt mean they are grounded, but instead, they hold each others terminals facing each other
So the series connection, is like connecting 'em in consecutive manner
I took the example as simple as how we connect resisters, because we could apply
the same concept in other components
rainman2,
In a series circuit, the same current flows through each component. In a parallel circuit, the same voltage appears across each component.

rainman2,
I hope this works. This is the first time I've tried to paste an image on this forum.
.
L1 and R14 constitute a series circuit, since the same current flows thru L1, R14.
.
D10, L1, R14 form a series-parallel combintation, consisting of D10 in parallel with the series combination of L1, R14. The voltage across D1 is the same voltage that appears across the series combination of L1, R14.
