What is a series circuit?
Click to flip
A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit in which electrical components are connected end-to-end in a single path for current flow.

How does voltage distribute in a series circuit?
Click to flip
In a series circuit, the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component.

What happens to current in a series circuit if a component fails?
Click to flip
If a component fails (opens) in a series circuit, the entire circuit becomes open and current stops flowing.
Click to flip
How does resistance add up in a series circuit?
Click to flip
The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistances of all individual components.

What is meant by 'current is the same through all components' in a series circuit?
Click to flip
In a series circuit, the current flowing through each component is identical. There is a single path, so the same electrons move through each element sequentially.
