Series Circuit Description. 2003 2012 princeton university farlex inc. Have you ever wondered what is inside your cell phone computer television or other electronic devices.
Resistors may be connected in series. A series arrangement of components has two distinguishing characteristics. In a series circuit all components are connected end to end forming a single path for current flow.
A series arrangement of components has two distinguishing characteristics.
In a parallel circuit all components are connected across each other forming exactly two sets of electrically common points. The manner of connecting components end to end is known as a series connection. 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. A series circuit forms a single pathway for the flow of current while a parallel circuit offers separate paths or branches for the flow of current.
