🔌 Series-Parallel Circuit Solver

🎯 Getting Started

This tool helps you solve series-parallel resistor circuits step-by-step:

• Add resistors to the circuit using the "Add Component" button
• Organize into groups that are in series or parallel
• View simplification steps showing how the circuit reduces to one equivalent resistor

📐 Series vs Parallel

• Series: Current flows through components one after another
  Formula: R_total = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ...
• Parallel: Current splits between multiple paths
  Formula: 1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃ + ...

💡 Building Complex Circuits

Use the tree structure to create nested combinations:

• Create a Series Group containing resistors or other groups
• Create a Parallel Group containing resistors or other groups
• Combine multiple levels to represent complex ladder networks
• The solver will simplify from the innermost groups outward
