In Chapter 5, we looked at our very first circuit and how to draw it using a circuit diagram. In this chapter, we are going to look at different ways components can be hooked together and what they mean for your circuit.
7.1 Series Circuits
The circuit built in Chapter 5 is considered a series circuit because all of the components are connected end to end, one after another. In a series circuit, there is only one pathway for the current to flow, making analyzing the circuit fairly simple.
It does not matter how many components are connected together—as long as all of ...
