Series Circuit

 A series circuit is an electrical circuit configuration in which components are connected sequentially, forming a single loop or pathway for the current to flow. In a series circuit, the same current passes through each component, and the total voltage applied to the circuit is divided across the components. Here are some key characteristics of a series circuit: Series Circuit 1. Components in Series : In a series circuit, the components (such as resistors, capacitors, or inductors) are connected one after the other, with no branching or parallel paths. The end of one component is directly connected to the start of the next component, forming a continuous chain. 2. Current : In a series circuit, the current (denoted by I) remains the same throughout the circuit. This is a result of Kirchhoff's Current Law, which states that the total current entering a junction is equal to the total current leaving the junction. Therefore, the current flowing through one component is the same as t
