CHAPTER 6SERIES CIRCUITS

WHAT IS A SERIES CIRCUIT?

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

Circuit Protection Must Be In Series!!!

Equal Resistors Will Equal Voltage Drops

Voltage Drops Proportional To The Resistance Value

Problem Solved….

Find The Missing Values….

Find The Missing Values….

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?
