Equivalent resistance must be defined between 2 nodes of the network. A different pair of nodes gives different Req.
Apply a test generator between the two nodes of interest.

Series combination: Easy to calculate.
Special cases for parallel combinations:
Series: equivalent is always bigger than any resistor in the string.
Req > Rm.
Parallel: equivalent is always smaller than any single resistor the parallel bunch.
Req < Rm.

Combination circuits
Test generator method always works.
Sometime necessary (with dependent sources in circuit).
For purely resistive circuits, there is a faster method inspection.
R1 R3
R4R5
R2
Inspect structure of network.
Use parallel & series to sequentially reduce pieces of the network to single resistances.
With practice, you will be able to find Req in one step.

1. R5 and R6 are in series.R56 = R5 + R6 = 1150 .
2. R4 is in parallel with R56.R46 = R4||R6 = 256 .
3. R3 is in series with R46.R36 = R2 + R46 = 1000 + 256 = 1256 .
4. R2 is in parallel with R36.R26 = R2||R36 = 470 || 1256 = 342 .
5. R1 is in parallel with R26.Req = R1 + R26 = 680 + 342 = 1022 .

Find the Req referenced between the nodes c and d. Note that in this case R1 is dangling (unconnected). No current will flow there it has no effect on the rest of the circuit, and we can ignore it.
1. R2 and R3 are in series.R23 = R2 + R3 = 470 + 1000 = 1470 .
2. R23 and R4 are in parallel.R24 = R23||R4 = 1470 || 330 = 269.5 .
3. R24 and R5 are in series.R25 = R24 + R5 = 269.5 + 470 = 739.5 .
4. R25 and R6 are in parallel.Req = R25||R6 = 739.5 || 680 = 354 .

To study:
1. Work at least a dozen of the equivalent resistance practice problems on the web site, making sure you can get the correct answer each time.
2. Sketch out your own crazy resistor network and see if you can calculate the equivalent resistance.
3. The equivalent resistance of a parallel combination is always less than the value of any of the individual resistors. Make sure that you understand this statement and why it is true.
4. Use a test generator alone with KCL and KVL to work any of the examples shown in this lecture. Show that you obtain the same result.
5. As noted, the test generator could be a current source. Then the goal would be to find the corresponding voltage. Re-work the series and parallel cases using a test current generator. Show that you obtain the same result.
6. Work through the first circuit (bottom of slide 2) using the test generator method. Show that you obtain the same equivalent resistance as the inspection method.
