Series Circuit Description. A series circuit can be identified by the connection between components or by the current through them. A series circuit is a closed circuit in which the current follows one path as opposed to a parallel circuit where the circuit is divided into two or more paths.
Series circuit characteristics the voltage drop across each element of a series circuit depends on the element resistance as well as the current level. When all the resistive components of a dc circuit are connected end to end to form a single path for flowing current then the circuit is referred to as a series dc circuit. Resistors may be connected in series.
Series circuit characteristics the voltage drop across each element of a series circuit depends on the element resistance as well as the current level.
For example in the circuit of figure 1 r 1 and r 2 are connected in series because no other component or branch is connected to the junction of r 1 and r 2. Series circuit characteristics the voltage drop across each element of a series circuit depends on the element resistance as well as the current level. The first electric circuit was invented by alessandro volta 1745 1847 in 1800. A series circuit is a loop that is completed with a switch connection sending electricity through the loop.
