Series Circuits

What is a series circuit?

• Series circuits work when the circuit is electrified in three different paths. The metal coil wrapped around the wire making Series Circuit.

• Series circuits are made when one or more electrical pathways are going to a coil making a circuit.

• A series circuit is an electric circuit that has only one pathway for electric current to take. You can think of a series circuit as a set of parts that are connected end to end.

• A Series circuit is a metal wire connecting all points of electricity making a circuit that is wrapped in a coil.

What happens to the voltage when it is dropped off

• The voltage goes on and off

• The voltage stays the same

• There is more voltage

• There is no more voltage

What are components

• Only one force that keeps the the components together and equal to balance out the circuit, the circuit is one whole force.

• Each of two or more forces, velocities, or other vectors acting in different directions which are together equivalent to a given vector.

• When two or more vectors combined making a balanced circuit the circuit is equally charged by the vectors

• When the forces don't connect nothing happens.

One of the most common applications of a potentiometer is as an adjustable voltage divider, also known as

• voltage control

• current control

• volume control

• divider control

Power is defined as:

• the rate at which work is done

• work

• the conversion of energy

• joules
