current is constant in the series circuit. The resistances of the components add up and the potential differences is divided propotionally over the components depending on their resistances.
Kirchoff's voltage law and Kirchoff's current law
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.
series circuit
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
1) At every point in the circuit, the current is the same. 2) The sum of the voltage drops across each component is zero.
A series circuit is a way of connection components of an electrical circuit. A circuit that is made up solely of components connected in a series is known as a series circuit.
This project will require a parallel circuit, not a series circuit.
In a series circuit current does stay the same thoughout the circuit, voltage drops in the series circuit.
Kirchoff's Current Law: The current at every point in a series circuit is the same. This can also be expressed as the sum of the currents entering a node is zero. Kirchoff's Voltage Law: The sum of the voltage drops across all elements in a series circuit add up to zero.
