Chapter 3, Problem 1RQ
What is a series circuit?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The definition of a series circuit.
Explanation of Solution
A circuit in which only one path of flow of electricity is present and the components presents in the circuit are wired with end to end connection is called series circuit. In a series circuit the current leaves from first component must enter to the second component, because the component present in series circuit is connected with end to end. The current through each component (Resistor’s) in a series circuit is same.
The below figure represents schematic diagram of a series circuit.
