Explanation of Solution
An electrical circuit with only branch through which current flows is called a series circuit.
In a series circuit, the parts are connected with wires one after another, so the amount of current is the same through every part. There is no current through the circuit if any part of a series circuit is disconnected. Thus, the current gets only one path to follow.
Conclusion: A series circuit is a circuit with only one path for current to follow.
