In solving series-parallel circuits, the last and easiest to solve for is:
A)RT.
B)PT.
C)IT.
D)ET.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total power of the circuit (PT) is calculated by summing the power dissipated by each individual component. Once the values of resistance, current, and voltage have been determined for each branch, it is easy to calculate the power for each component and then sum them up to find PT. This is the last step in the process of solving a series-parallel circuit.
