Series connection

Definition

A series connection refers to a circuit configuration where the components are connected one after another, forming a single pathway for the current to flow through.

Analogy

Imagine a group of friends holding hands in a line while walking together. They all move at the same pace and follow each other closely, creating a series connection.

Related terms

Parallel connection: A parallel connection is when components are connected side by side, providing multiple pathways for the current to flow through.

Voltage drop: Voltage drop refers to the decrease in voltage across a component in a circuit due to its resistance or impedance.

Ohm's Law: Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it and inversely proportional to its resistance.
