The circuit must be continuous or have continuity in order for current to flow through the circuit NOTE: An electrical load needs power and a ground to operate. A break (open) in a series circuit will cause the current in the circuit to stop Ohm’s law can be used to calculate the value of one unknown (voltage, resistance, or amperes) if the other values are known Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 Because all current flows through all resistances, total resistance is the sum (addition) of all resistances. Total resistance of the circuit shown here is 6 ohms (1Ω = 2Ω + 3Ω) The formula for total resistance (RT) for a series circuit is: Using Ohm’s law to find current flow: Continued Figure 33–1 A series circuit with three bulbs All current flows through all resistances (bulbs) The total resistance of the circuit is the sum of the total resistance of the bulbs, and the bulbs will light dimly because of the increased resistance and the reduction of current flow (amperes) through the circuit Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 With a total resistance of 6 ohms using a 12volt battery in the series circuit shown, 2 amperes of current will flow through the entire circuit. If resistance is reduced, more current will flow Here, one resistance has been eliminated and now the total resistance is 3 ohms (1Ω + 2Ω) Using Ohm’s law to calculate current flow yields 4 amperes Figure 33–2 A series circuit with two bulbs Notice current flow was doubled (4 amps instead of 2 amps) when the resistance was cut in half (from 6 ohms to 3 ohms) Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman Continued ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 Farsighted Quality of Electricity Electricity almost seems to act as if it “knows” what resistances are ahead on the long trip through a circuit If the trip through the circuit has many high-resistance components, very few electrons (amperes) will choose to attempt to make the trip If a circuit has little or no resistance (for example, a short circuit), then as many electrons (amperes) as possible attempt to flow through the complete circuit If flow exceeds the capacity of the fuse or the circuit breaker, then the circuit is opened and all current flow stops Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 KIRCHOFF’S VOLTAGE LAW Voltage applied through a series circuit drops with each resistor. The greater the resistance, the greater the drop in voltage German physicist, Gustav Robert Kirchhoff (1824–1887), developed laws about electrical circuits. His second law, Kirchhoff’s voltage law, concerns voltage drops It states: The voltage around any closed circuit is equal to the sum (total) of the voltage drops across the resistances Continued Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 Applying Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law Kirchhoff states in his second law that voltage drops in proportion to resistance and the total of voltage drops will equal the applied voltage. Figure 33–3 As current flows through a circuit, the voltage drops in proportion to the amount of resistance in the circuit Most, if not all, of the resistance should occur across the load such as the bulb in this circuit All of the other components and wiring should produce little, if any, voltage drop If a wire or connection did cause a voltage drop, less voltage would be available to light the bulb and the bulb would be dimmer than normal.circuit with two bulbs Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman 10 ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 The unknown is the amount of current in the circuit. The Ohm’s law equation for determining current is: I = E/R R represents total resistance. Because there are two equal resistances (8Ω), they can be replaced by one resistance of 4Ω (RTotal= Value/Number = 8Ω/2 = 4Ω) Total resistance of circuit containing two 8ohm and one 4ohm resistor is 2 ohms. Battery current flow is then calculated to be 6A I = E/R = 12V/2Ω = 6A Figure 33–22 Example Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman 42 Continued ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUITS Seriesparallel circuits are a combination of series and parallel segments in one complex circuit A seriesparallel circuit is called a compound or a combination circuit. Many automotive circuits include sections that are in parallel and in series A seriesparallel circuit includes both parallel loads or resistances, plus additional loads or resistances that are electrically connected in series There are two basic types of seriesparallel circuits 43 Continued Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 A circuit where the load is in series with other loads is parallel. An example of this type of circuit is a dash light dimming circuit. The variable resistor is used to limit current flow to the dash light bulbs, which are wired in parallel. Figure 33–23 A series-parallel circuit Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman 44 Continued ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 A circuit where a parallel circuit contains resistors or loads is in series in one or more branches. A headlight and starter circuit is an example of this type. A headlight switch is usually connected in series with a dimmer switch and in parallel with the dash light dimmer resistors. The headlights are also connected in parallel along with the taillights and side marker lights. Figure 33–24 This complete headlight circuit with all bulbs and switches is a series- parallel circuit Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman 45 ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 SeriesParallel Circuit Faults If a conventional parallel circuit, such as a taillight circuit, had a fault that increased the resistance in one branch of the circuit, the current flow through that one branch will be reduced Added resistance, due to corrosion or similar cause, would create a voltage drop. As a result of this drop, a lower voltage would be applied and the bulb in the taillight would be dimmer than normal. Because brightness of the bulb depends on voltage and current applied, lower voltage and current would cause the bulb to be dimmer. If added resistance occurred in part of the circuit that fed both taillights, then both taillights would be dimmer than normal In this case, the added resistance created a seriesparallel circuit that was originally just a simple parallel circuit Continued 46 Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 SOLVING SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT PROBLEMS The key to solving seriesparallel circuit problems is to combine or simplify as much as possible. If there are two loads or resistances in series in a parallel branch or leg, then the circuit can be made simpler if the two are first added together before attempting to solve the parallel section. Figure 33–25 Solving a series-parallel circuit problem Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman 47 ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 SERIES-PARALLEL CIRCUIT EXAMPLES Each of the four examples includes solving for the following: Total resistance Current flow (amperes) through each branch, as well as total current flow Voltage drop across each resistance 48 Continued Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 The unknown resistor is in series with the other two resistances, which are connected in parallel. The Ohm’s law equation to determine resistance is: R = E/I = 12V/3A = 4Ω The total resistance of the circuit is 4 ohms, and the value of the unknown can be determined by subtracting the value of the two resistors that are connected in parallel. The parallel branch resistance is 2Ω The value of the unknown resistance is 2Ω Total R = 4Ω – 2Ω = 2Ω Figure 33–26 Example Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman 49 Continued ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 The unknown unit in this circuit is the voltage of the battery. The Ohm’s law equation is: E = I × R Because each branch contains two 4ohm resistors in series, values in each can be added to help simplify the circuit. By adding the resistors in together, the circuit now consists of two 8ohm resistors Inserting the value for total resistance into the Ohm’s law equation results in a value of 12 volts for the battery voltage E = I × R E = 3A × 4Ω E = 12 volts Figure 33–27 Example Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman 50 Continued ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 In this example, the total current through the circuit is unknown. The Ohm’s law equation to solve for it is: I = E/R To solve for total resistance, the circuit can be simplified by adding R3 and R4 together because these two resistors are in series in the same branch of the parallel circuit, similar to Example 2. With the branches reduced to just one 4ohm resistor, this can be added to the 2ohm (R1) resistor because it is in series, creating a total circuit resistance of 6 ohms. Current flow can now be determined from Ohm’s law: I = E/R = 12V/6Ω = 2A Figure 33–28 Example Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman 51 Continued ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 In this example, the value of resistor R1 is unknown. Total resistance of the circuit is 3 ohms: R = E/I = 12V/4A = 3Ω Knowing total resistance is not enough to determine value of R1. To simplify, R2 and R5 combine to create a parallel branch resistance value of 8 ohms because they are in series. With the circuit simplified to one resistor in series (R1) with 4 ohm branches with 4 ohms, the branches can be reduced to the equal of one 2ohm resistor The circuit includes one 2 ohm resistor plus unknown R1. Total resistance is 3 ohms, so R1 must be 1 ohm 3Ω – 2Ω = 1Ω Figure 33–29 Example Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman 52 Continued ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 SUMMARY Series circuits: a In a simple series circuit, the current remains constant throughout, but the voltage drops as current flows through the resistances of the circuit b The voltage drop across each resistance or load is directly proportional to the value of the resistance compared to the total resistance in the circuit c The sum (total) of the voltage drops equals the applied voltage (Kirchhoff’s voltage law) d An open or a break anywhere in a series circuit stops all current from flowing 53 Continued Automotive Technology: Principles, Diagnosis, and Service, 3rd Edition By James D Halderman ©©2008 2009Pearson PearsonEducation, Education,Inc Inc Pearson PearsonPrentice PrenticeHall Hall- -Upper UpperSaddle SaddleRiver, River,NJ NJ07458 07458 SUMMARY (cont.)
