SerPar.exe is a Windows - Based program
designed  for personal drill on electronics circuits.
Series - Parallel resistor circuits are the first
complex circuits an electronics student
encounters. The sample circuit at the left  is one of
five from whiich the user may select.

By clicking the left mouse button on the chosen figure,  power supply voltages and resistor
values are presented. These may then be used to calculate all circuit currents and
voltages including R-Total and I-Total.   Clicking on the RESULTS button presents the
correct calculated results so the the user can check personal calculation accuracy.

User Skills required: This program provides drill in performing series-parallel resistor
circuit calculations, so it is assumed that the user has at least a minimum competancy in
such calculations.  The user is also assumed to have minimum Windows skills, including
ability to use a mouse.

Notes on program performance: Some attempt was made to format resulting output
which may produce variations in answer resolution as high as one count in the second
significant digit.

Program technical notes:  Size: 34.4 kilobytes.
The program was created using Microsoft Visual Basic. Much of the code was taken from
an earlier version written for Microsoft Quick Basic.
