Series Circuit
A series circuit is a circuit that has only one path through which electrons may flow. The following rules apply:
The total current in a series circuit is equal to the current in any other part of the circuit.
The total voltage in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the voltages across all parts of the circuit.
The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistances of all the parts of the circuit.
