A series circuit has more than one resistor (anything that uses electricity to do work) and gets its name from only having one path for the charges to move along. Charges must move in "series" first going to one resistor then the next. If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through the circuit because there is only one path. There is no alternative route. Old style electric holiday lights were often wired in series. If one bulb burned out, the whole string of lights went off.
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.
No. Series circuit has 1 path to flow.
in a series circuit or it will not work. Put it after the bulb
In a series circuit, if one component burns out, the circuit will not work because the current flow is interrupted by the burnt-out component. This is because components in a series circuit share the same current.
because the circuit is not a full circuit so it wont work!
If there is only one fan in the circuit then it is in a series circuit. If there is more that one fan then they will be connected in a parallel configuration.
All of the light bulbs in the series circuit would go out.
No. Since the switch is in series with the circuit, opening it blocks the current flow through the circuit, turning it off.
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
In a series circuit, when a light bulb is broken, it creates an open circuit which stops the flow of current throughout the circuit. As a result, all the other light bulbs in the circuit will also stop working because they are all connected in a series.
Ammeters must always be placed in series in a circuit, otherwise they will not work babes :)
