Bennie - I thought it was a excellent question since it helped to promote Thinking about series and parallel circuits -- i.e., mainly that in a parallel circuit the voltages are equal, the currents can be unequal, and in a series circuit the currents can not be other than equal, but the voltages can be different. Thus, a parallel circuit is needed to equalize voltages -- such as is the case with series filter capacitors. For equalizing reverse currents (in diodes for example), a series circuit does the job quite nicely. So what kind of logic is behind adding a parallel circuit ("equalizing resistors") to a perfectly good series circuit where the goal of equalizing currents has already been reached? I would say it's seemingly the specious kind. - cheerz BennieRichard L.
