Expert Solution & Answer
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.

- Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let C = 12.0 µF.) A circuit consists of four capacitors. It begins at point a before the wire splits in two directions. On the upper split, there is a capacitor C followed by a 3.00 µF capacitor. On the lower split, there is a 6.00 µF capacitor. The two splits reconnect and are followed by a 20.0 µF capacitor, which is then followed by point b.
