The circuit is already split into series and parallel. To make some calculations in (i) easier, you'll want to [temporarily] combine some of the parallel paths into a single resistance.Busybee12 said:
A circuit is a path or loop through which electricity can flow. It typically consists of a power source, such as a battery, wires, and various components, such as resistors, capacitors, and switches.
A circuit diagram is a graphical representation of a circuit. It is used to show the connections and relationships between components in a circuit, and to help understand how the circuit functions.
In a circuit diagram, the power source is shown as a battery symbol, and wires are represented by lines connecting the various components. Resistors are shown as zigzag lines, capacitors as parallel lines, and switches as open or closed circles. The direction of current flow is indicated by arrows.
To draw a circuit diagram, start by identifying the components and their connections. Use a ruler to create straight lines for the wires and symbols for the components. Make sure to label each component and wire to avoid confusion. Finally, check your diagram for accuracy and completeness.
There are three main types of circuits: series, parallel, and combination. In a series circuit, the components are connected one after another, creating a single path for current flow. In a parallel circuit, the components are connected in multiple branches, allowing current to flow through each branch separately. A combination circuit is a mix of series and parallel circuits.
