Circuit Concepts Circuit Concepts The equivalent resistance is substituted back into a combination circuit that represents the _______________ value as all of the resistances combined. same the same as The current leaving the source is _______________ the current returning to the source in a combination, or series-parallel, circuit. Any circuit in which the current is split or follows two (or more) alternative paths is called a(n) _______________ circuit. parallel Identify the first step necessary to allow calculation of component voltages in a combination circuit with component resistors in series and parallel. Determine the total resistance. Component currents in combination circuits are generally calculated by applying _______________ to the component voltage and the component resistance.
