This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of series circuits, essential for understanding basic electricity. It outlines fundamental rules, such as the uniformity of current across the circuit, the total resistance as the sum of individual resistances, and the relationship between voltage and resistance. Key inquiries include the rationale behind fuses in series, how to calculate current flow, and determining power usage. Through problem-solving and reviews, readers will enhance their grasp of series circuits and their practical applications in circuit protection.

BASIC ELECTRICITY CHAPTER 6 SERIES CIRCUITS
SERIESCIRCUITRULES…. • 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
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?
