Equivalent circuit walkthrough

A 12V source powers R3 = 4 ohm in series with a branch containing R1 = 6 ohm and R2 = 3 ohm in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance and total current.

FOCUS STEP

Draw the original network

Start with the untouched circuit so the student knows exactly which two resistors share the same pair of nodes.

Known values: R1 = 6 ohm, R2 = 3 ohm, R3 = 4 ohm, V = 12V
R1 and R2 are in parallel because both ends connect to the same two nodes.
