Series Circuit:
Current is the same
Total resistance is the sum of
all resistors
One path for Current flow
- Voltage sources in series
- Aiding – Sources in the same direction ( Add)
- Opposing – Sources in opposite directions (Subtract)
Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law – The algebraic sum of voltages in any loop equal zero.
Voltage dividers – A way to calculate voltage drops without knowing the current.
Interchanging series elements – Voltage drops change as components are interchanged.
- Loading effects of instrumentation
- Troubleshooting Parallel Circuits
- Opens – Current ceases to flow
- Shorts – Excessive current
