    • What is a series circuit
      series circuit is a circuit in which all the components are in the same loop.
    • What happens to the pd
      It is shared across all the components. 
    • How do you find total resistance
      Add together the resistances of each component in the circuit.
    • What happens to the current
      Current is the same for every component in the circuit
    • In a series circuit, do the components with the largest resistance get the largest or smallest share of the potential difference?
      In a series circuit, components with the largest resistance get the largest share of the potential difference.
