Yes, in a series circuit, the sum of the voltage drops across each component equals the total voltage supplied by the voltage source. This principle is a manifestation of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, which states that the total voltage around a closed loop must equal zero. Therefore, the voltage provided by the source must equal the combined voltage drops across all components in the circuit.
What else can I help you with?
An example series circuit might be what?
A voltage or current source in series with a circuit breaker or fuse in series with a switch in series with a light bulb.
What does Thevenin's equivalent circuit consists?
The Thevenin's equivalent circuit consist of a voltage source in series with a resistor.
What is the effect of a series circuit?
multiplies source voltage, two 12v dc batteries in series become a 24v circuit; also multiplies resistence
Can the total of the voltage drop across the loads of a series circuit ever exceed the total of the source voltages applied to that circuit?
no
Why is voltage constant in parallel dc circuit?
depend on the R value(s) because V Source = Sum of individual voltage across each R in the series so if R in the series are equal value, then their V are the same and their V total will be equal of the V Source

Is the total voltage drop around a series circuit equal to the voltage of the battery?
No. The total voltage drop around a series circuit, per Kirchhoff's voltage law, is zero. However, it is true that the total voltage drop of all of the components except the battery is equal and opposite to the voltage drop of the battery.AnswerInterestingly, the formal definition of electromotive force is based on Kirchhoff's Voltage Law: 'A source's electromotive force is equal to the sum of all the voltage drops around a closed loop, including the source's internal voltage drop'.Expressed as per the original answer, we could also say; 'The algebraic sum of a circuit's electromotive force and voltage drops, including the source's internal voltage drop, is zero'.
Does voltage add in a series circuit?
The voltage between the ends of the circuit doesn't change ... that's where the power source is connected. But when you add more items in a series circuit, the voltage across each item changes. The individual voltages across each item in the series circuit always add up to the voltage of the power source. So in general, if you add more items, the voltage across each of the original ones must drop somewhat.
Which circuit would have the highest voltage series or parellel?
In a series circuit, the voltage is divided among the components, so the highest voltage is at the beginning of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, each component receives the full voltage of the source, so the voltage is the same across all components. Therefore, the circuit with the highest voltage would be in a series circuit.
What happens to the voltage across the voltage source as more light bulbs are added in a series circuit?
Nothing.
What does Thevenin's equivalent circuit consists?
The Thevenin's equivalent circuit consist of a voltage source in series with a resistor.
Is voltage the same in parallel circuits?
No, voltage is not the same in parallel circuits. Voltage is constant across components in a series circuit, but in a parallel circuit, each component has the same voltage as the power source.
What is the effect of a series circuit?
multiplies source voltage, two 12v dc batteries in series become a 24v circuit; also multiplies resistence
What cause a series circuit to work and not work?
A series circuit will work if there is a closed path through which the current can pass, and a voltage source. Otherwise it won't.
What happens to voltage in a series circuit?
Total voltage = the source. The voltage around the circuit is divided proportionally by each of the resistances in line. The current is = the source voltage divided by the sum of all the resistance.
Can the total of the voltage drop across the loads of a series circuit ever exceed the total of the source voltages applied to that circuit?
no
Why is voltage constant in parallel dc circuit?
depend on the R value(s) because V Source = Sum of individual voltage across each R in the series so if R in the series are equal value, then their V are the same and their V total will be equal of the V Source
