CHAPTER 6
SERIES CIRCUITS

5. WHAT IS A SERIES CIRCUIT?

6. SERIES CIRCUIT RULES….
1. THE CURRENT IS THE SAME AT ANY POINT IN THE CIRCUIT
2. THE TOTAL RESISTANCE IS THE SUM OF THE INDIVIDUAL RESISTORS
3. THE APPLIED VOLTAGE IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF THE VOLAGE DROPS ACROSS ALL THE RESISTORS

7. Circuit Protection Must Be In Series!!!

9. Equal Resistors Will Equal Voltage Drops

10. Voltage Drops Proportional To The Resistance Value

11. Problem Solved….

12. Find The Missing Values….

16. Find The Missing Values….

22. LET’S REVIEW…. DEFINE A SERIES CIRCUIT.
NAME THE THREE RULES FOR SERIES CIRCUITS.
WHY ARE FUSES CONNECTED IN SERIES?
HOW CAN THE CURRENT FLOW BE FOUND IN A SERIES CIRCUIT?
HOW IS POWER USAGE FOUND IN A SERIES CIRCUIT?

23. THANKS FOR ATTENTION!!
