Equivalent Resistance of Circuits
This online engineering CPD video presentation presents principles, practices, and applications for determining the equivalent resistance of resistive circuits in a simple, easy-to-understand format.
The course begins with an introduction to Ohm’s Law and the fundamentals of series and parallel resistor combinations. It then progresses to more advanced circuit configurations, including “delta” and “wye” connected resistor triplets and the conversion between these two configurations. By combining these techniques, participants will be able to determine the equivalent resistance of resistive circuits of varying complexity.
Each topic is followed by numerical examples that are completely solved step by step in a clear and easy-to-follow presentation. These examples reinforce the concepts discussed and demonstrate their practical application to resistive circuit analysis.
This 1 CPD video presentation is intended for electrical engineers as well as other technical professionals interested in learning more about the introductory fundamentals of electrical circuits.
This PE continuing education video presentation is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
