Series circuits

The Rules for Series Circuits. 

Here are the main rules:

• One Path Only - In a series circuit, there's only one path for the electricity to flow.

• Same Current - The same amount of electric current flows through each part of the circuit.

• The voltage (like pressure pushing the electricity) adds up as you go around the circuit. So, if you have three light bulbs in a series, the voltage across each bulb adds up to the total voltage of the battery. IN other words the voltage of the battery is shared across the componets in the circuit. 

• If one component (like a light bulb) goes out in a series circuit, it breaks the path and stops the flow of electricity.

So, in a series circuit, everything is connected in a single loop, and if one part stops working, it affects the whole circuit.
