Well, if your speaking very basically, a series circuit will have only 1 route to flow, and that's around the entire series circuit. Current leaves the source, and returns to the source, around a single path.

If in doubt with electronics theory, remember this analogy. Electricity is like water in a pipe Voltage= Water pressure (Not directional, doesnt flow in a linear sense)

Current= Rate of water flow (Wider pipes, more current! Resistor's are like kinks in a pipe, limiting flow. This is expressed in Ohm's Law as I=V/R. As R increases, current decreases)

How many pathway does a series circuit have?

A series circuit has only one pathway for electric current to flow. This means that all parts of the circuit are connected in a single loop, so the current passes through each component in sequence.

How are all the components in a series circuit connected?

In a series circuit, the components are connected end-to-end in a single loop, creating a single pathway for the current to flow. This means that the current passing through one component is the same that passes through all other components in the circuit. If one component fails, it can disrupt the flow of current through the entire circuit.

Is a series circuit used to light a flashlight?

Yes, a flashlight typically uses a series circuit to light up. In a series circuit, the components are connected end to end, creating a single pathway for the current to flow. This allows the batteries to power the light bulb in the flashlight.


Is a circuit the pathway taken by electric current?

Yes the circuit needs to have no breaks or have the switch open to let the electrons pass through.
